ton typ = 0.32us
toff typ = 0.41us

Hitachi :
ton typ = 0.8us
toff typ = 1.4us

So from the above switching losses would be quite high.The hitachi also has a higher gate capacitance at 112nf vs 90nf for the fuji. this would require more gate drive.

I'm not saying it won't work just that its not all about the Vce and Ic when it comes to igbts.
Thanks Jack that's what I needed to know. What about these types of igbts: EUPEC 1U/1200A/1200V IGBT Module, FZ1200R12KL4C ?
