Rikugun Ki-93 Giken, but I don't think there was an Allied Code Name assigned. Was there?
It was a prototype and did not make it to the war, so maybe did not need one.

RegDep, according to Japanese Army Aircraft 1930-1950 - The Big Omnipedia
Ki-93 Rikugun Type 6 light bomber. CADS code name Nick. Heavily-armored ground attack aircraft possibly inspired by American A-38 Grizzly and Australian Commonwealth Ostrich. Intended to replace light bombers suich as the Ki-51 and Ki-71 it was too large and heavy to copy their essential characteristic, an ability to operate off bases only a few minutes from the front lines. Production of the Ki-93 was limited as a result and the type quickly faded from front-line service.
