The Nakajima J1N1 Gekkō is a twin-engine aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. A prototype first flew in May 1941. The first full production variant of the Gekkō, the J1N1-C was a reconnaissance aircraft, although many of these underwent field modification into night fighters; in addition, a night fighter variant, the J1N1-S was later put into production. Towards the end of the war, J1N1 pilots also undertook kamikaze anti-shipping missions. The Gekkō was given the Allied reporting name "Irving".
