The Shiden Kai 2 was designed from the Kyoufuu Seaplane Fighter (announced, but yet to be introduced in-game), by the time this plane entered service it was no longer needed since the defense Japanese Mainland was the priority at the moment so they adapted it to be a land based fighter, being able to surpass the Zero (From Model 21 up to Model 62) in speed and the Raiden Interceptor Fighter in Range. The original Shiden had various production problems, most noticeably it's landing gear killing most of it's pilots, thus the Shiden Kai was developed solving a lot of the original problems.
