Overview
This is the most modern tracked IFV in Katsuragi service. The Type 89, much like other western designs of the same class, came to be as a replacement for the obsolete APCs (in this case, Type 60 and Type 73) under SDF service (not counting the Phoenix King Sudden Transport) that were designed to be deployed with the Battle Taxi doctrine in mind. The IFV requirement for Katsuragi domestic use was first formulated around 1980 V.C. What followed were three or so years of procurement talks, culminating with a contract for Mitsubishi to build four prototypes in 1984 V.C. During the next several years, several prototypes were built and tested successfully. The vehicle was then officially accepted in service in 1989 V.C. under the designation Type 89 IFV.
