Kyūshū Hikōki K.K.

The nihongo|Kyūshū Hikōki K.K.|九州飛行機|Kyūshū Hikōki was a Japanese manufacturer of military aircraft during World War II. While it mainly manufactured other firms' designs, it was notable for the radical J7W "Shinden" fighter.

The company originated from Fukuoka-based "Watanabe Tekkōjo" (Watanabe Steel Foundry), which started building aircraft in 1935. In 1943 the aircraft division was spun off as "Kyūshū Hikōki", while the original company was renamed "Kyūshū Heiki" (Kyūshū Armaments).

After the war, the company was renamed "Watanabe Jidōsha Kōgyō" (Watanabe Automobile Industries) and manufactured automobile bodies and parts. It was dissolved in 2001.
