The Howa Machinery Type 89 Assault Rifle, referred to as the 89式5.56mm小銃 (はちきゅうしきごうてんごうろくミリしょうじゅう, hachikyuushiki goutengourokumiri syouzyuu?),[5][6] is a Japanese assault rifle used by the Japan Self-Defense Forces,[6] the Japan Coast Guard's Special Security Team units[6] and the Special Assault Team. It was never exported outside of Japan due to its strict anti-hardware export laws.

It has replaced the Howa Type 64 battle rifle in frontline units.
