A Japan player will not be disappointed during the late-game, as they boast one of the best Elite infantry squads in the game as well as the Ho-Ri, arguably the best Heavy Tank Destroyer in the game in terms of cost-to-effectiveness. Japan shares a similar advantage to the United States in versatility, having an excellent array of support weapons and vehicles from beginning- to end-game. Sometimes deemed a 'zerg rush' faction, Japan's primary advantage is their notably low unit costs, which allows the user to deploy many troops onto the field very quickly, albeit at the cost of raw quality. Japan is an excellent beginner nation, being very forgiving with losses and offering a diverse set of units for disposal. Japan fought alongside the Axis powers until mid-1945. The Imperial Japanese Navy made its surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii Territory, on Sunday morning, December 7, 1941. The Japonese battle flag until 1945, not to be mistaken with it's main flag.

Japanese troops would charge directly at the enemy shouting the word as a final bid of defiance against the ever-encroaching American forces.

Japan was known for their Bushido code (Never surrendering no matter what, or you are dishonorable), that made their infantry very disciplined and less prone to surrendering. Japan is a Playable faction in Men of War: Assault Squad.
