| The C-1 medium-sized troop and freight transport was designed to meet a JASDF requirement for a replacement for its former fleet of Curtiss C-46s. The first flying prototype took off for the first time on 12 November 1970 and the first production aircraft was delivered in December 1974. By 1981 31 production C-1s had been delivered, including several long-range aircraft with an additional 4,732 litre wing centre-section fuel tank.

| | Hiroyuki Takeuchi, e-mail, 30.01.2009 05:20 I see this plane flying regularly but at airshows they demonstrate amazing maneuvrability for such a large plane. It is a shame that Japanese law forbids export of military equipment as there were some overseas interest in this aircraft.
Kawasaki has now completed its replacement, which is a much larger plane with similar layout.
