The Type 1 machine gun was developed for aerial use for the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy during World War II . It was an adaptation of the German MG 15 machine gun. (Note that the 12.7mm Ho-103 and H-104 machine guns are also known as the "Type 1 machine gun", but are actually a 12.7mm adaption of the Browning M1919 machine gun in fixed and flexible mountings, respectively.)
