Nakajima Ki-115 Tsurugi (Sabre) one-man kamikaze aircraft developed by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force in the closing stages of the war in late 1945.  The Imperial Japanese Navy called this aircraft T?ka (Wisteria Blossom).  An example of the Ki-115 (Serial No. 1002), USAAF FE-156 is stored in the Garber Facility of the National Air and Space Museum, in disassembled condition; another, once displayed as a gate guardian at Yokota Air Base, is reportedly at a Japanese museum.
