Twin-engined, strut-braced, high-wing monoplane. Distinguishable features are two engines placed in tandem on the fuselage centerline, a twin-boom-supported empenage, and a retractable tricycle landing gear. Two horizontally opposed, six-cylinder, 210 hp fuel-injected engines, constant speed, full feathering-propellers power the aircraft. Painted on the right and left sides of the front engine cowling in Japanese kanji script is the phrase "Bu-un Choku" meaning, "May the heavens watch over you, and be successful in combat," a traditional wish expressed to departing young warriors.
