The N1K and Ki-84 have protection that is comparable to other aircraft in their class. Japanese self sealing tanks weren't as effective as American ones, but they still had them.
The only completely unarmored Japanese aircraft in AH are the A6M2, B5N2 and D3A1. The A6M5b only has an armored windscreen, so it is essentially unarmored. The Ki-61, Ki-67, Ki-84 and N1K2-J have self sealing tanks and pilot armor.
When we get the Ki-43 it will be unarmored, or mostly so. The G4M 'Betty' will also be unprotected unless, highly unlikely, we get the G4M3 version which was fully protected.
