Default Japanese destroyer captain

Here is a question concerning som real history - I think:

Captain Hara in his book Japanese Destroyer Captain mentions Japanese homing torpedoes. According to him his ship Yahagi carried such weapons on its last mission, accompanying Yamato to Okinawa in April 1945. Anyone here having any info on such Japanese torpedoes actually in service.

I have the US post-war investigation paper on the Japanese torpedoes (several hundred pages). Therein is described development work on homing topedoes but they were seemingly never put in production.
