Aichi Aircraft was originally a clock maker processing plywood which was by chance good for making wooden propellers to be an aircraft maker later.
Aichi is now a gauge maker.

Tachikawa Aircraft is now a property lease company as Tachihi Enterprise in Tachikawa City. I thought this company had nothing to do with aircraft anymore but a rumor says Tachihi is promoting a restoration project of Tachikawa Ki-9 Tainer at the moment.
If true, I hope it would consider other old models like Ki-54 too in the future.

A Ki-54 raised from the lake Towada in 2012.
One of two engines seems to have been restored.

Tachihi (old Tachikawa Aircraft) does not necessarily seem to be interested in the aircraft business as a manufacturer but supporting young aircraft designers as a sponcor.

The Ki-9 restoration project.
4 Ki-9 replicas (as AKT95) which are equipped with Rotec R3600 Aussie-made engines are to fly in the next autumn .
