Type 4 Ke - Nu The was a light tank of the Imperial Japanese Army in World War II . It was a conversion of existing Type 95 Ha - Go light tanks , re - fitted with the larger turret of the Type 97 Chi - Ha medium tank . History and development . The Type 4 Ke - Nu was a side effect of the on - going development of the Type 97 Chi - Ha medium tank . The original Type 97 Chi - Ha had been armed with a low muzzle velocity 57 mm tank gun . Operational experience in Manchukuo , China in the early stages of the Second Sino - Japanese War and against the Soviet Union at Nomonhan during the brief Japanese - Soviet Border War in 1939 revealed that this gun was totally inadequate against any form of opposing armor , and a new higher velocity 47 mm tank gun was developed . This was then installed in the Type 97 Chi - Ha medium tank to produce the Type 97 - " kai " " Shinhoto " version . This left a large number of surplus Type 97 turrets , which were later retrofitted onto the hulls of the obsolete Type 95 Ha - Go light tank . The result was designated the Type 4 Ke - Nu . In total , approximately 100 units were converted in 1944 . Design . Essentially a Type 95 light tank with a Type 97 medium tank gun turret , the Type 4 Ke - Nu had slightly better firepower , but at the expense of an additional ton in weight . This reduced the top speed of the tank to 40 km / h , but did nothing to alleviate the greatest weakness of the Type 95 , its lack of suitable armor protection for the hull . Maximum armor protection for the tank ( 25 mm ) was provided by the Type 97 turret , and it was easily defeated by the 37 mm , 75 mm and 2 - pounders mounted on Allied tanks . Combat record . The conversion coming in 1944 was too late to make any impact on Japanese combat operations , and most of the Type 4 Ke - Nu were retained in the Japanese home islands against the projected American invasion . Some were assigned to units in Korea and Manchukuo , and saw brief combat against Soviet forces in the Soviet invasion of Manchuria . A surviving Type 4 Ke - Nu captured in Manchukuo is on display in Moscow at the Kubinka Tank Museum .
