The Me-163 Komet was a rocket-propelled interceptor created by Germany for WWII. It didn't work very well and killed a bunch of their own pilots. Naturally Japan thought that was great and wanted some of their own.
"The Mitsubishi J8M Shūsui (Japanese: 三菱 J8M 秋水, literally "Autumn Water", used as a poetic term meaning "Sharp Sword" deriving from the swishing sound of a sword) was a Japanese World War II rocket-powered interceptor aircraft closely based on the German Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet. Built as a joint project for both the Navy and the Army Air Services, it was designated J8M (Navy) and Ki-200 (Army)."
