Anyone notice that when the Japanese planes were taking off, the pilots looked like they were sitting on booster seats?

Was that normal for them to do that on takeoff's so as to have more visibility on a cramped flight deck?
 
I know the Zero and Oscar both had seats that could be set very high for better over the nose vision on the ground, and also takeoff. Probably a lot of the other single engine planes had this feature too.

I you look at pictures of them taxing you'll notice that the pilots almost look as if they're standing up in the cockpit.
