http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_97_Chi-Ha
"With the Type 89 Chi-Ro fast becoming obsolete in the late 1930s, Japan choose a design by Mitsubishi as its replacement and began production in 1937.
The Chi-Ha tank was quite well equipped at the beginning of its service life, being armed with the 57 mm gun. It was soon outpaced by Allied tanks. It was due to be replaced by the new Type 1 Chi-He but as that was delayed the new turret design of the Chi-He with its 47 mm gun was fitted to the Type 97s in production from 1942 to give the Shinhoto Chi-Ha (New Turret Chi-Ha). The upgunned variant was used for the first time in the Battle of Corregidor."
