Don't know if anyone has found this resource yet. Its at the Combined Arms Research Library (CARL)- an amazing site.

It gives a very detailed itemization of all Japanese armed forces units/elements that were demobilized at the end of the war.

Depending on the speed of your internet it takes a while for the pdf window to actually load with the file. You will see the four parts in the side bar - part two is most interesting for army orbat.

I just noticed when reading through this text that in part 3 it gives a break down of aircraft production by producer on a monthly basis for the whole war. The info for the Navy is even more detailed and it states monthly aircraft production by aircraft type starting from 1942.

This part also includes maps and listings of all operational airfields, including Kamikaze.
