The largest I can think of that saw combat was the 57mm in the Ki-102b "Randy" ground-attack variant.

The Ki-109 had a 75mm cannon for air-to-air against B-29s and at least some of the 20 built apparently did see combat with the 107th Sentai (see Francillon Japanese Aircraft of WW2 for more details).
