HTV-4 eller Kounotori 4 (japanska: こうのとり4号機), var Japans fjärde H-II Transfer Vehicle, uppskjutningen skedde den 3 augusti 2013, med en H-IIB raket. Ombord fanns bland annat förnödenheter, experiment och reservdelar. Farkosten anlände till Internationella rymdstationen den 9 augusti och med hjälp av Canadarm2 dockades den med stationen. Farkosten lämnade ISS den 4 september 2013 och brann upp i jordens atmosfär den 7 september 2013.

Farkostens japanska namn kounotori betyder "amurstork" på japanska.

Gidzenko and flight engineer Sergei K. Krikalev two tons of food, clothing, hardware and holiday gifts from their families. The photograph was taken with a 35mm camera and the film was later handed over to the STS-97 crew members

for return to Earth and subsequent processing.

ISS021-E-017623 (30 Oct. 2009) --- Backdropped by a cloud-covered part of Earth, the unpiloted Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV), filled with trash and unneeded items, departs from the International Space Station. European Space Agency astronaut Frank De Winne, Expedition 21 commander; NASA astronaut Nicole Stott and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk, both flight engineers, used the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to grab the HTV cargo craft and unberth it from the Harmony node's nadir port. The HTV was successfully unberthed at 10:18 a.m. (CDT) on Oct. 30, 2009, and released from the station's Canadarm2 at 12:32 p.m.

ISS-36 HTV-4 berthing 2.jpg
The International Space Station's Canadarm2 grapples the unpiloted Japanese "Kounotori" H2 Transfer Vehicle-4 (HTV-4) as it approaches the station, and will attach it to the Earth-facing port of the station's Harmony node. The HTV-4 is delivering 3.6 tons of science experiments, equipment and supplies to the orbiting complex. Earth's horizon and the blackness of space provide the backdrop for the scene.
