| Most units in the IJA had troops from the same hometown area--to promote cohesiveness and unit pride. Because of this, many units were prefaced by the place name, and these names often appear on cups. Here are a few that I have found. Others no doubt exist. |
| Satsuma |
| Nagoya |
| Kyoto |
| Sakaren, modern-day Sakhalin. This is a disputed island. Russia claims the northern half. Still friction between the countries over this matter. |
| Tokyo |
| Sendai |
| Sendai Heavy Transport Infantry |
| Tokyo Bay |
| Osaka |
| Hokkaido |
| Sakaren Dispatch |
| Fukuoka Infantry. Fukuoka is abbreviated here to only the 1st kanji |
