interesting post. Actually the IJN did have a super battleship planned during the ending of the war. It was codenamed Hull 111,Hull 797,Hull 798, and Hull 799 which was layed down as a Super-Yamato class in Nov 7, 1940. It was found along with the huge 20' guns that were going on it. The United States navy never showed its plans because it is said the japanese burned them to keep anyone from taking the ships advanced designs for themselfs. This would of been the ultimate Battleship ever made, but the U.S Navy scrapped everything including the 20' guns all found in Kure Navy Yard( Kure is the birth-place of the BattleShip Yamato which was one of the biggest shipyards around to fit the Yamato.). It was almost 5-10 times what the Musashi and Yamato would of been.
If you would like anymore info on this please let me know. :)
