Some resemblance to the Zero. Aesthetically say. Except the cockpit.

"Made in Japan" (both)
"Oscar" is a grouch.
Found a video with a lot of flight time. Rare indeed.
Did not know about that "flap" thingie.

To have a souvenir of the enemy. American technicians cut the propeller of a destroyed Japanese Ki-43 "Oscar" fighter, Iwo Jima, March 1945.
