The J-I was a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency solid rocket expendable launch vehicle. It flew only once, in 1996, in a partial configuration, to launch the demonstrator Hyflex. The vehicle never flew in the final orbital capability configuration, which should have launched the OICETS satellite (which was finally launched on Dnepr).
On the Hyflex mission a load of 1,054 kg was launched 1,300 km downrage.
