The Type 4 Chi-To medium tank (四式中戦車 チト,   Yonshiki chūsensha Chi-To^?) was a medium tank developed by the Imperial Japanese Army late into World War II. It makes a brief appearance in the 2023 film Godzilla Minus One.

History[]

Godzilla Minus One[]

Three Chi-To tanks appear during the Ginza attack, in front of the National Diet Building and ordered by the Japanese government to kill Godzilla. After multiple shots, the now-enraged Godzilla fires his atomic breath at the tanks, destroying them.

Arsenal[]

• The Chi-To had a maximum speed of 45 kilometers (or 28 miles) per hour.
• The tank has an operational range of 250 kilometers (160 miles).
• The tank is notably equipped with 75 mm Type 5 tank guns, and 2 Type 97 heavy tank machine guns.
• The Chi-To has a 12-75 mm (0.47-2.95 inch) armor.

Trivia[]

• Although the film had four Chi-To appear, in real life, only two were constructed. Furthermore, the two constructed tanks were dumped in Lake Hamana after the war ended.
