I am surprised no-one mentioned the Ki-100 (Dinah) - used by both
services although in small numbers, and also the Ki-49 Hiryu (Peggy),
used by both. Unless my memory is hideously deformed....

It is

The Ki-100 was a Ki-61-II with a 1500 hp Mitsubishi Ha-112-II
radial engine and was definitely an army aircraft

The Ki-46 Dinah was also an army aircraft as was the
Ki-49 Helen

The Ki-67 Peggy was designed for the Japanese air force
but was used by the IJN albeit in small numbers, first being
used by them in the attacks against the US 3rd fleet off
Formosa in late 1944.
