What armament is installed in the wing of the Closest Ki-44? It looks to big to be a 20mm, but I don't think it is one of the few armed with the 40mm either?

Here is what I found. it does say some were equipped with them, but they were extremely ineffective due to the weight and recoil of the cannon (which was capable of only nine shots). SECM
Interesting, I don't think I have ever noticed the small teardrop shaped fairings 40mm cannon fairings before. (at least one version of them anyway) And the Ki-44 in the picture also has the telescopic sight like the drawing.
