IJA Tank Mech “I-GA” 4-leg type

Japanese Army “Iga Four-legged Type” 1946 Kohima Evacuation Frontline Unit Specification.

In the aftermath of relentless skirmishes across the mountainous terrain of Kohima, the Imperial Japanese Army introduced a revolutionary mechanized war machine—the “I-GA” Four-Legged Type, designed for rapid deployment and strategic mobility in unforgiving landscapes.

Constructed with reinforced plating and an advanced hydraulic movement system, the “I-GA” possessed the agility to traverse uneven ground where conventional tanks struggled. Armed with dual-mounted Type 99 machine guns and an adaptable payload system, this mech was tailored for frontline engagement and defensive support during the Kohima evacuation efforts of 1946.

The unit operated as an autonomous strike force, bridging gaps where infantry units required mechanical reinforcement. Its four-legged configuration, inspired by the natural resilience and agility of traditional samurai steeds, allowed it to maneuver through debris-laden battlegrounds with precision.

The “I-GA” became a defining symbol of tactical innovation, balancing firepower with mobility in the last desperate movements of the Japanese Army during the conflict.
