The Ki-45 Kai Hei with pointed nose were equiped with 1xHo-3 20mm in the belly tunnel and one Ho-203 37mm in the nose cone.
The Ki-45 Kai Tei was equiped with the same armament as above plus 2xHo-5 oblique-mounted between pilot and rear-gunner/radio stations. Some Ho-3 guns were removed to gain weight. Some earlier models (with rounded nose) had instead 2xHo103 12,7mm machine-guns oblique-mounted in place of the Ho-5.
Few Tei models were specially modifed with no armament but with an explosive charge in the rear-station as suicide attack aircraft the aim being to crash into a flying B-29.
