INSIGNIA OF IMPERIAL JAPANESE ARMORED FORCES

The marks painted on Japanese armors are mainly unit insignia and personal insignia. Insignia of the nation or the army were seldom painted in IJA armors. (SNLF tanks were painted with anchor mark or naval ensign as the IJN insignia)

The personal insignia are not explained in detail, but they are mostly Japanese words expressing loyalty, courage or place names of Japan.

Click the regiment name to see its insignia. I omitted the regiments which did not have an unit insignia or of which insignia are not confirmed.
