| + | * 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. |

| Masayoshi Tsuruno, a lieutenant commander of the Imperial Japanese Navy techincal 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 22hp '' Semi 11'' engine was fitted to one of these gliders. All proved the feasibility of Masayoshi's proposal. | | Masayoshi Tsuruno, a lieutenant commander of the Imperial Japanese Navy techincal staff, proposed a canard-based design in 1943.
