The link below provides a rare photo of a Me-109 used by Japan, with the mark of the Rising Sun emblazoned on the fuselage. Does anyone know if Japan used German fighters in combat? The link also features a selection of photos unimaginable for the High Command of the Luftwaffe at the beginning of WW2, see their powerful Me-109 and Fw-190 fighters captured and tested with allied markings. To view all photos, visit the link below:

Thanks for the link. To my best knowledge, the Japanese never used the Bf-109 in combat. They did not like it because of the higher wing loading. They compared the 109 to a captured P-40 and an JAAF Ki-61. The Ki-61 outperformed the other two aircraft.
