Kairyu Special Submarine
If anyone would like another view, Ill get it if ive got it.
Note the 2 holes (the larger one was caused by an attack by an US destroyer (I think)).

Kaiten Typ. 10 (prototype)
note the small size-must have been hell in there not to mention the fact that you were facing certian death…
the latter 2 fotos show the periscope of the kaiten and what it looks like to look inside.
