''Japanese Tanks 1939–45'', 2007, p. 22.

The Type 5 75 mm Tank Gun was intended as the main armament of the Type 4 ''Chi-To'' medium tank, a planned improvement over the Imperial Army's most powerful production tank, the Type 3 ''Chi-Nu''.〔Tomczyk, ''Japanese Armor Vol. 4'', pp. 3, 5.〕 The first prototype Type 4 ''Chi-To'' was delivered in 1944. Though the most advanced and powerful Japanese tank to leave the drawing board, late war industrial and material shortages resulted in only two being completed.〔 The Type 4 ''Chi-To'' was manned by a crew of five 〔〔Tomczyk, Andrzej, ''Japanese Armor Vol. 4'', pp. 19, 20.〕 and fielded the long-barreled 75 mm/L56.4 (4.23 m) gun. A variant of the Japanese 1943 Type 4 75mm AA Gun,〔() Taki's Imperial Japanese Army〕〔Tomczyk, ''Japanese Armor Vol. 4'', pp. 19, 22, 30.〕 it was mounted in a large, hexagonal turret and capable of being elevated between -6.5 to +20 degrees. Its muzzle velocity gave it an armor penetration of 75 millimeters at 1,000 meters. Intended Type 4 ''Chi-To'' production was 25 tanks per month spread over two Mitsubishi Heavy Industries factories. Late war shortage-induced delays resulted in only 6 chassis being built by 1945 and just two of which were completed. Neither completed tanks saw any combat prior to the end of the war in the Pacific.〔〔Tomczyk, ''Japanese Armor Vol. 4'', pp. 19, 22.〕
