After the slow development of the [[Chi-He (Family)|Type 1 Chi-He]], which by 1941 was adopted by design, only properly entered production in 1943 and the development of the new [[Type 5 (Disambiguation)#Type_5_.2875_mm.29|Type 5 (75 mm)]] cannon for the medium [[Chi-To (Family)|Type 4 Chi-To]] and heavier [[Chi-Ri II|Type 5 Chi-Ri]] was still under development to stand up against the American armour existing out of Shermans, the Imperial Japanese Army requested a stop-gap tank equipping the [[Type 90 (75 mm)]] field cannon (Becoming the [[Type 3 (75 mm)]] tank cannon) as soon as possible.

To save on development time and cost, the Army decided to use the same hull as the Chi-He and designed a new hexagonal turret to fit the bigger gun and ammo while maintaining a total of 5 crew members as it had to be available as soon as possible.
