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.

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