HTV5 Mission

Developed and built in Japan, the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) known as "KOUNOTORI (white stork)" is an unmanned cargo transfer spacecraft that delivers supplies to the International Space Station (ISS).

Wonder if this is like the SpaceX Dragon and used to prototype for a manned capsule?
