- Unit 8604 or Nami Unit was a secret military medical unit of the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) that researched biological warfare and other topics through human experimentation during the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II era. It was formed in Guangzhou, Guangdong, near Hong Kong and headquartered at Zhongshan Medical University (Hal Gold, Unit 731 Testimony, 2003, p.50). Unit 8604 is considered a sub-unit of Unit 731. The unit was commanded by Major General Sato Shunji, a physician. It was staffed by a total of 800 personnel: 100 commissioned officers (many with medical or scientific backgrounds), 200 medical and scientific researchers, and 500 soldiers and noncommissioned officers. This facility conducted food and water deprivation experiments as well as water-borne typhus human experimentation. In addition, this facility served as the main rat-farm for the medical units to provide them with plague vectors for their experiments. On 4 November 1994, the Japan Times reported the testimony of Shigeru Maruyama, a former member of the unit who said that one experiment involved starving prisoners to death and talked of seeing victims being operated on almost every day.
