The Nambu Large-Model Automatic Pistol was designed by Kijirou Nambu in 1902. It was the first semi-automatic pistol designed in Japan, and the precursor to the Nambu Type 14 pistol. Although it was purchased privately by Army officers, the pistol would not be formally adopted and thus did not receive a "Type (year)" style designation. There would ultimately be three models of the pistol, the Large-Model (Kou), Large-Model (Otsu), and Small-Model, with "kou" and "otsu" being roughly equivalent to "A" and "B". The two Large-Models are chambered in 8x22mm Nambu with 8-round magazines, while the Small-Model uses the scaled down 7x20mm Nambu cartridge in 6-round magazines. The Otsu variant can be most easily distinguished from the earlier Kou by its larger trigger guard, flexible lanyard swivel, and aluminum (as opposed to wood) magazine baseplate.
The three models would later be nicknamed "Grandpa Nambu", "Papa Nambu", and "Baby Nambu" by Western sources, and the two larger models are often (incorrectly) referred to as "Type A" and "Type A improved", with the smaller model as "Type B".
