This article refers to plans for the incorporation and development of special or secret weapons in Imperial Japan during the first part of the Showa era, for the Second Sino-Japanese war and World War II, that were originally hidden from public knowledge to protect their efficacy. Weapons prohibited by the Geneva Protocol were of specific interest to Japan, since it was thought that if a weapon was banned then it must be particularly effective.

  • This article refers to plans for the incorporation and development of special or secret weapons in Imperial Japan during the first part of the Showa era, for the Second Sino-Japanese war and World War II, that were originally hidden from public knowledge to protect their efficacy. Weapons prohibited by the Geneva Protocol were of specific interest to Japan, since it was thought that if a weapon was banned then it must be particularly effective. The United States and Germany are more famous for their development of special weapons, but Japan and Russia to a lesser extent both pursued weapons development. The weapons developed by Japan included biological, chemical, and advanced conventional weapons. A diverse cross section of institutions and individuals in wartime Japan participated in various areas of development, such as The Munitions Ministry (Japan), the Tokyo Imperial University, the Riken (Japanese Institute of Physics and Chemical Research), the Black Dragon Society, the Mitsubishi business conglomerate, and the Nakajima Company. Military units involved included the Kempeitai, First Tachikawa Army Arsenal, Sagami Army Arsenal, and Yokosuka Naval Arsenal.
