already quite a lot good material, so deserves a thread on its own, I think, and because
the Gekko, flown for the first time in May 1941, actually was there before the outbreak of
war in the Pacific region, but to my opinion "before WW II" generally is defined somewhat
different.
Nevertheless, very interesting variants, thank you for posting !

If one look at the plan view, two distinctive bulges can be seen at the canopy sides. Was this one was the original proposal for the J1N?
Cheers

I can't find any more drawing about this design in Japanese sources.Winston said:Could we get a better picture of the overhang on the canopy?
There is no explanation for jet powered Gekko.

I'd suspect that it was intended to be a survivable recon asset, covering the waters around the Home Islands. The Japanese were under no illusions about the likely longevity of most of their surveillance/reconnaissance assets in the face of the firepower of an Allied invasion fleet.
