Ki -61-I is the first serial modification launched into production in August 1942. By July 1944, about 1,380 machines of two variants - Ki-61-1a and Ki-61-1b - were built. which differed from each other in armament. On the Ki-61-1a, it consisted of two 7.7-mm Type 89 machine guns placed in the wings and two 12.7-mm Type 1 machine guns above the engine. On the Ki-61-1b aircraft, wing machine guns had the same caliber as those located in the fuselage - 12.7 mm. To increase the firepower of fighters, 20-mm MG151 guns purchased in Germany in August 1943 were installed instead of wing machine guns on 388 machines of the Ki-61-1a and Ki-61-1b variants. Such a replacement required some strengthening of the wing structure in the area of the gun placement and the installation of small under-wing fairings.
