A rare Kawasaki Ha40 liquid-cooled inline V engine has been discovered at a construction site in Ryuta-cho, Goko-sho, Higashiomi City, Shiga Prefecture. The engine was used to power the Kawasaki Ki-61, the only mass-produced Japanese fighter during the Second World War that uses such an arrangement.

Workers discovered the relic in January and members from the Higashiomi City War Heritage Association confirmed it to be a Ha40. The site where the engine was discovered is 7 kilometers away from the Yokaichi airfield where the 244th Sentai was deployed, flying the Ki-61.
