All sources known to me (English, Japanese, and Polish) deny the existence of a Ki-94-I prototype. The Ki-94-II, which is already in the game, was in the prototype phase.
Considering it’s based on publicly available sources who knows.
Your source on the development of the Ki-94-I prototype is very weak, even nonexistent. The link you posted from WT Live contains only one source, which refers to the Ki-98, not the Ki-94-I. Furthermore, the WT Live source (militaryfactory) does not provide any sources, which drastically reduces its credibility.

It’s a picture… also, someone else posted the same picture. It clearly did it exist, and while that is only of the wooden mockup it still proves that the aircraft went to a certain phase of development, so it did exist, we just do not know how far, and trying to find an actual picture on the world wide web would be extremely difficult if you consider how much people upload to different sites. That either shut down, or don’t.
