Does such an animal exist by way of the Japanese makers?
I'm considering a few US makers but I prefer Japanese blades.

Re: Plow plane?
You mean a tool for cutting grooves?
They are called kikai-shakuri kanna 機械作里鉋
They are dedicated units, a separate plane needed for each size of groove you wish to cut - generally sized in the same increments as chisels.
Here are some examples:
For the smallest sized grooves (3 and 4.5mm), the sole is usually brass:

Re: Plow plane?
Thanks Chris,
I've seen these but did not know if there was another variety around. I guess I'm looking for something that doesnt actually exist as I'm looking for something in the way of an American plane in the way that the fence works (like a center wheel plow), but built like a japanese plane.
I feel like a range of modified Dado planes, much like the ones you posted but with self maintaining fences, would be a best of both worlds.
This is the kind of fence I am looking at;
