The Class C62 (C62形) is a type of 4-6-4 steam locomotive designed by Hideo Shima and built by the Japanese National Railways (JNR).

These were the largest and fastest steam passenger locomotives to run in Japan, and hauled the Tsubame (swallow) express on the Tōkaidō Main Line between Tokyo and Osaka.

[2] Five C62s hauled the Teine express in Hokkaido between Otaru and Hakodate after they were displaced by electrification of the Tōkaidō Main Line.

[4] C62 2, one of the five remaining C62s until the withdrawal from the mainline Niseko Express in 1972, has been preserved in working order at the Kyoto Railway Museum.

Hudson Soft also named a number of products after the C62, including the development kit for the PC Engine,[9][10] and a chip (Hu62) that was used in a later version of the hardware.
