The Type 1 Ho-Ha was an armored half-track used in limited numbers by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. Built by Hino Motors during 1944, this armored vehicle was similar to the SdKfz 251/1 HANOMAG, the main German armored troop carrier during the war.
It was also similar to the Italian Semincingolato Fiat 727 and Semincingolato Breda Tipo 61 armoured transport vehicles used in WW2.
