It's possible. But the chance is (in theory) so low, you might say it's zero. But modern MBT have just as much armor on the back as a WWII medium. A good hit with APHE (or similar) should disable the Hitomaru.
With modern tanks fighting each other, whoever sees the other guy first typically wins. The Type 10 is armed with a 120mm L/55 gun. Even the L/44 barreled 120mm guns (like those on the Abrams and Leopard 2) are supposed to get well over 500mm of RHA penetration at 2000 meters and can hit stuff (with reduced lethality for KE rounds) reliably out to 4000 meters. In a contest between the Panzer IV Ausf. F and the Type 10, the Type 10 crew would probably just hide out somewhere like a sniper to take advantage of its sensor and fire control systems.

But that's not sensha-do! The typical fighting distance in a sensha-do-match is 10 to 50 meters! If the Panzer IV hides in a garage and fires at the back from spitting distance, the Type 10 is toast!

Sensha-do only allows tanks that were designed no later than 15 August 1945, so if they are using a Type 10, it isn't Sensha-do anyway! XD
Those are the Japanese rules though, and probably only for the K-12 and college students. It might be different for the international and the professional leagues.

It's a possibility, but the only time I've seen any direct reference to professional teams' hardware is in "der Film" when they are looking at that news article that shows the University team having defeated some corporate team, and the corporate team's tanks are IS-2s or related variants.
Since we've waited so long, our tank's become like a whole new vehicle!Yes, I'm looking forward to the continuation. How's the state of your vehicle?...is fully equipped, so it's like a whole new vehicle!It's finally here! It's been a long time, hasn't it. And because it's been so long, the Type IV...About time for the showdown, huh!Long time, no see!
Das Finale Part 3 Set to Hit Theaters in Spring 2021!!
