==Trivia==
* The depicted plane is allegedly the J7W2-A variant (did not exist/enter service as is).
* Historically, "Shinden Kai" actually refers to the J7W2, which was a proposed jet-powered variant of the Shinden that was never built even at the prototype level.

* Both the J7W1 Shinden prototypes and the planned J7W2 Shinden Kai were land-based aircraft. Kancolle's version - the "Shinden Kai", "Kai" in this case meaning "modified" - is a theoretical variant with an arresting hook and reinforced airframe to facilitate carrier-based operations.

;Historical Information
Masayoshi Tsuruno, a lieutenant commander of the Imperial Japanese Navy technical staff, proposed a canard-based design in 1943. Masayoshi also believed the design could be easily retrofitted with a turbojet when the technology became readily available. His ideas were developed by the First Naval Air Technical Arsenal into three canard-based gliders designated the Yokosuka MXY6. A 22 hp '' Semi 11'' engine was fitted to one of these gliders. All proved the feasibility of Masayoshi's proposal.

All proved the feasibility of Masayoshi's proposal.
Impressed by the testing of the MXY6 units, the Navy ordered Kyushu Aircraft Company (formerly Watanabe Tekkoujo) to design an interceptor around Masayoshi's canard concept. Kyushu was relatively free to work on the idea unlike other manufacturers while Masayoshi was selected to lead a team from the First Naval Air Technical Arsenal to assist Kyushu's engineering team. The construction of two prototypes started in 1944 while stress calculations were completed in January 1945, producing a working prototype in April 1945.

The J7W1 prototype was by a 2,130 hp supercharged rear-mounted Mitsubishi ''MK9D'' (of similar lineage to what would be installed in the ''[[Reppuu (Strong Gale)|Reppuu]]'') driving a six-bladed propeller via an extension shaft. The engine was cooled via long, narrow obliquely mounted intakes on each side of the fuselage, but this design caused problems when the engine was running on the ground. Unavailability of other components also postponed the flight of the J7W1. The prototype was flown successfully by Masayoshi in August 1945 but showed problems, such as vibration in the drive shaft.

A canard-based design means that a small wing or foreplane is placed ahead of the main wing of the aircraft, while the pusher configuration - a propeller located behind the engine - has unique advantages, such as not obstructing the placement of guns. Modern examples of canard aircraft include the successful Rafale and Typhoon multirole fighters.

As a land-based interceptor that was never successfully produced, the Shinden Kai (in this case meaning "Modified" rather than "Improved") in Kancolle is a theoretical variant with modifications to operate in a carrier-based environment.
