Division 9

Division 9 (Japanese: 師団9) is a Japanese scientific research group, allied with the German research organization Group 935 in the discovery and research of Element 115. Their headquarters is based out in the Rising Sun facility, but they also have other research stations, notably one in a remote Pacific island.

In the original timeline, Division 9 was the original creator of the Ray Gun design blueprint, which was later retrieved by Group 935 leader Ludvig Maxis, leading to its full creation. However, their Rising Sun facility in Japan had become infested by the undead after the discovery of Element 115 on the site, eventually becoming overrun.

In the rewritten timeline, Division 9 has been conducting research on an unknown specimen of a creature in collaboration with Group 935, which they intend to deploy upon the battlefield at the Eastern Front by Winter 1945. At some point, the original Takeo Masaki was sent by the Emperor to investigate the Division's activities, but he unknowingly became one of their many prisoners of war.
