Standard personnel transport of the Imperial Japanese Army, work on the Ki-57 began early in 1939 at the request of Nippon Koku K.K. (Japan Air Lines). The company had been impressed by the performance of the Ki-21 in China, and asked Mitsubishi to produce a design for a civil version of the same aircraft. This was completed by the summer of 1939, by which time the airline had been reorganised as Dai Nippon Koku K.K. (Great Japan Airlines Co.). The new design interested the Imperial Japanese Army, which gave it the designation Ki-57 and ordered it into production. The civil version was given the designation MC-20.


Retaining the wings, tail and cockpit sections, undercarriage and powerplant installation of the Ki-21-I, the transport aircraft, carrying the civil designation MC-20 and the military designate Ki-57, featured a new fuselage accommodating eleven passengers in two rows of single seats, and had its wings mounted low on the fuselage whereas its bomber forerunner had mid-mounted wings. Completed in July 1940 the prototype made. A total of 101 aircraft of the first production model were built by Mitsubishi between 1940 and 1942 and designated Army Type 100 Transport Model 1 (Ki-57-I) by the Army and MC-20-I by the civil authorities. A small number of Ki-57-Is were transferred to the Japanese Navy and designated Navy Type 0 Transport Model 11 (L4M1) by that Service.

History:

The airline Nipon Koku To. To. (Japan Air Lines) has commissioned the factory Mitsubishi Jukogyo K. To., through the ministry of aviation, development and production of transport aircraft for 11 passengers and 300 kg of mail. The company Mitsubishi at the beginning of 1939 used a few parts from the bomber Ki-21-I Sally, it was to accelerate the development and also subsequent production. Maintain this left the wings, tail section, part of the space for the crew and the propulsion units (but the version with slightly higher power), completely new was the torso, because the Ki-57 was a low-wing plane had to be partly changed, even the chassis. The new aircraft was designated MC-20, is already testing prototypes noticed the army, that this aircraft subsequently ordered and with just small modifications included it in their armament under the designation of Ki-57-I.
The production then ran for a civilian airline, so for the army and navy at the same time.
The aircraft became an important type of transport aircraft of the japanese army, civil society has in the meantime been reorganized to Dai Nippon Koku KK (a Big Company Japan Airlines, and.s).
The total was in the years 1940 – 42 built 101 aircraft of this model series, Rikugun Koku Hombu has included it into service as a "Military transport plane, type 100 model 1 (Ki-57-I), the sailors used a small amount of these aircraft as a "Marine transport type 0 model 11 (L4M1).
