The Kawasaki Ki-22 was one of three designs for a heavy bomber produced in response to a Japanese Army specification issued on 15 February 1936. The rival Nakajima Ki-19 and Mitsubishi Ki-21 designs both reached the prototype stage, and the Mitsubishi Ki-21 entered production as the Army Type 97 Heavy Bomber, but the Kawasaki Ki-22 never progressed beyond the design stage.
