Following its 1943 introduction, the Kawanishi N1K quickly earned a reputation for being incredibly resilient and highly maneuverable. In combat, the N1K could easily go toe-to-toe against the F6F Hellcat, as well as the P-51 Mustang and the F4U Corsair. The N1K1-Ja version featured four 20 mm Type 99 cannons mounted in the wings, but lacked the frontal 7.7 mm (.303 in) Type 97s found on earlier variants
