The Type 96 AA gun prime mover is a Japanese 6-wheeled prime mover used during the Second World War. It entered service in 1937.

During the 1920s, the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) used several types of trucks to transport Anti-aircraft guns. In 1936 the Type 96 AA "gun tractor" was developed from the Type 94 6-wheeled truck. The Type-94 was first produced in 1934 and shown to be reliable. First produced in 1937, the Type 96 was basically the same as the Type 94, but "the transmission was improved and a winch was added to the tail".
