This from Janes so I will be digging deeper into this one

Type 96 120 mm self-propelled mortar (Japan), Self-propelled mortar systems

Development
The Type 96 120 mm self-propelled mortar system was developed in the early 1990s to meet the operational requirements of the Japanese Ground Self-Defence Force for a mobile and protected mortar system to provide fire support for its mechanised infantry units.Following trials with prototype systems it was type classified as the Type 96 120 mm self-propelled mortar and placed in production. It is believed that production has been at a very low rate with just three being procured in 1999. By late 2007 it is estimated that at least 35 vehicles had been built.
