Re: Me 262 in Japan ?
I doubt this Me 262B photo was taken in Atsugi. There's an P-80 in the background, and the people don't seem to be Japanese or US military men. I think it was taken in US on one of the publicity air shows. And that this Me 262 was taken from Germany, not from Japan.
Note, that there seem to be German markings on the fuselage, but non-standard, rather one of these fancy crosses painted over US markings post-war.
As for the alternate Nakajima Kikka designations, there was an IJAAF version planned with designation Ki-201.
Ki-202 was to be an Army version of Mitsubishi J8M Shusui.
Never heard of Ki-262, thought.
