Yep, and its a very fast (340+ mph) dive bomber.  I'd love to see this one along with the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver in AH.   Like the Ki.61, the D4Y later switched to a radial engine (D4Y3) while the Ki.61 became the Ki.100 with the powerplant change.

I'm really surprised that an "experten" such as yourself was unable to identify such a basic IJN a/c.  Turn-in your heckler card and take a 6 month break from the BBS for such tomfoolery, please.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

The kanji in the photo is kanjou bakugeki ki (suisei), meaning "shipboard bomber (comet)."

Is that a gun port on the side of the cowling just above the exhaust stack?

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

No, that is the air intake for the engine supercharger.  The D4Y used a licensed, modified copy of the Daimler DB601.
