An Artist Concept of 6 view profile technical drawing, of a planned Japanese Long-Range Strategic Bomber.
Yes it's way different from Fukagu, but this was an initial concept design of the Z-Bomber, converted it into a set of schematics drawings.

The Project Z (also called the "Z Bombers Project") was a military project of the Empire of Japan, similar to the Nazi German Amerikabomber project, to design an intercontinental bomber capable of reaching North America.

Project Z was to have six 5,000 hp (3,700 kW) engines; the Nakajima Aircraft Company quickly began developing engines proposing twinned Nakajima Ha-44 engines (the most powerful engine available in Japan).

Designs were presented to the Imperial Japanese Army, including the Nakajima G10N, Kawasaki Ki-91, and Nakajima G5N. None, save for the G5N, developed beyond prototypes or wind tunnel models. Late in the war, Project Z and other heavy bomber projects were cancelled.
