The Suisei (Comet) was one of the most aesthetically pleasing single-engine bombers to serve with any of the fighting powers during WWII, and it brought the design of this category of aircraft to an aerodynamic level comparable to that of the de Havilland Mosquito in the twin-engine category.
These five prototypes built at Yokosuka were all powered by the 960-hp DB 600G and carried a defensive armament of two forward firing 7.7mm machine guns in the upper fuselage decking and one flexible rear-firing 7.7mm machine gun operated by the radio operator.
The Dai-Junichi Kaigun Kokusho (11th Naval Air Arsenal) at Hiro was also responsible for the production of Suisei bombers.

Still, the Navy thought that an inline-powered dive bomber was definitely in their future, so the Yokosuka Arsenal, late in 1938, was instructed to design a replacement for the Heinkel.
These all saw their first combat in the air battles off Formosa and in the Battle for Leyte Gulf; most of them were destroyed by the superior numbers of Hellcats defending the American carriers, others being expended in kamikaze attacks, but one land-based Judy did get very lucky and dropped a single 1,102-lb.
Many members of the Naval Air Staff advocated the replacement of the unreliable Atsuta with an air-cooled radial engine of similar power output as early as the turn of 1943-44.
