In 1919, the Japanese naval required four battleships and four battlecruisers to be built. Thirteen variants of battleships and battlecruisers were proposed: the “Project A” became the Kii-class and was chosen as the battleship; “Project K” was chosen for the battlecruisers. Construction was scheduled to begin in 1922, but because of the Washington Conference, these battlecruisers were not laid down.
Nel 1919, la marina giapponese richiese la costruzione di quattro corazzate e quattro incrociatori da battaglia. Furono proposte tredici varianti di corazzate e incrociatori da battaglia: il “Progetto A” divenne la classe Kii e fu scelto come corazzata; Il “Progetto K” è stato scelto per gli incrociatori da battaglia. La costruzione doveva iniziare nel 1922, ma a causa della Conferenza di Washington, questi incrociatori da battaglia non furono fissati.
