PS: Sorry if I ended up flooding the topic xD and yes, A-150 is not bigger than Yamato in Size aspect, But in weapons capability and tonnage... well it is another history xD... (although the IJN burned the blue prints at the end of the war, then we will never know for sure ) Kii-class has 2 meanings:

1. your "old" Kii-class of the 88 fleet period.

2. Proposed name from Super-Yamato.

This is the original text of the interview that mentioned Kii. Translated version is on my post above.

There's no way the old Kii can be compared/mentioned with Yamato, so the consensus on the Japanese community is that this can only mean the Super Yamato (A-150). Especially given the fact that 51cm guns has been introduced.
