When the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) was looking for a new assault rifle to replace the aging [[Howa Type 64]] (7.62x51mm), Howa Machinery Co., of Japan designed and developed the Type 89 Assault rifle, chambered for the 5.56x45mm NATO round. It was much lighter than the Type 64 and was a modern assault rifle in the genre of the [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1]], the [[SIG SG 550#SIG SG 551|Sig 551]], and the [[Heckler & Koch G36]]. The Type 89's design resembles the US-designed [[Armalite AR-18|AR-18]] assault rifle, which was manufactured by Howa under license from Armalite (USA). It replaced the Howa Type 64 as the main battle rifle for the JGSDF in 1989, even though the Type 64 is still used in secondary units and Coast Guard units.

Howa Type 89 in 5.56x45mm with integral bipod. Currently in use by the Modern Japanese military.
Howa Type 89-F assault rifle with folding stock for Paratroopers - 5.45x45mm. Currently in use by the Modern Japanese military.

When the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) was looking for a new assault rifle to replace the aging Howa Type 64 (7.62x51mm), Howa Machinery Co., of Japan designed and developed the Type 89 Assault rifle, chambered for the 5.56x45mm NATO round. It was much lighter than the Type 64 and was a modern assault rifle in the genre of the M4A1, the Sig 551, and the Heckler & Koch G36. The Type 89's design resembles the US-designed AR-18 assault rifle, which was manufactured by Howa under license from Armalite (USA). It replaced the Howa Type 64 as the main battle rifle for the JGSDF in 1989, even though the Type 64 is still used in secondary units and Coast Guard units.
