Perhaps it is marked to be tested? Maybe Nick will comment.

May not be Japanese at all, but Chinese. Let's see the back side first to see whether it is correctly marked by a Japanese arsenal.

All frogs are originally marked by the arsenal, as required by weapons regulations. Of course they can become faint and disappear after oiling, but yours is new so they need to be there. Those are not Japanese in my mind, but rather Chinese-marked as a prototype.
