IJAAF Capitan Teruhiko Kobayashi in his Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien (飛燕, "flying swallow") he was an ace with official records indicating he had downed 3 B-29s and 2 F6Fs others records he may have had 12 total kills.
What is the significance of the last victory marking, that appears to be two overlapping silhouettes? Teruhiko kobayashi basically rammed a B29 out of the sky. The Japanese used ramming attacks to take down B-29s there were dedicated units for ramming attacks due to the fact that the service ceiling that b29s operated at was the limit most Japanese could operate at and in order to climb high enough fast the Japanese would remove all the weapons to reduce weight to climb fast and ram into B-29s.
