A stillborn advanced variant of the Aichi AM-23 [[Ryuusei (Shooting Star)|Ryuusei]] (B7A2 Shooting Star), with its engine changed to the 2,200hp Mitsubishi MK9. It was never produced beyond the planning stage before the end of war, due to its base model's troubled development. Original B7A2 production models were equipped with a 7.92mm Type 1 rear-firing gun, which was changed to the 13mm machine gun in later production.
