The land-based trainer version of the M6A1 Seiran was known as the M6A1-K Seiran Kai. The popular name of the M6A1-K was later changed to Nanzan (Southern Mountain). In order to aid pilot conversion to the Seiran, two examples of a land based trainer version fitted with a retractable undercarriage were built. Besides the difference in landing gear, the vertical stabilizer's top portion, which was foldable on the Seiran, was removed.
