Developed based on the Junkers K51 being assumed future attack of Corregidor in 1932.

Very good question, Jim.
Our wiki tells that Germany was restricted to produce such heavy bombers under the Treaty of Versailles, so Junkers engineers came to Japan with the K51 design.

Another book tells the K51 was redesigned in Sweden.
Mitsubishi purchased it in 1928.
