Kanegawa Industries (Japanese:
Due to the ravages of war, projects of Kanegawa Industries were often met with setbacks, sometimes indefinitely. The war separated the Kanegawa Industries into two parties: the one overseas is affiliated with the Allies, and one staying in mainland Japan are first controlled by China, then affiliated with the Foehn Revolt later.
History[]
This article will only cover the history for the Kanegawa Industries branch in Japan. For the history of the branch that joined with the Allies, see FutureTech.
Third Great War[]
Prior to the Third Great War, research on particle collision weaponry is already underway, as well as development of stolen American technology in the form of Future Tanks and Harbingers.[7][8]
When China's invasion in Japan had begun, many Kanegawa Industries facilities were either seized by the Chinese or destroyed when they resisted the invasion. Due to the successful Chinese occupation, Kanegawa Industries were forced to be cooperative with China as part of Japan's non-aggression pact with the former. The achievements of this coalition would remain unnoticed until the following war.
Mental Omega War[]
Kanegawa Industries started working together with Yunru and her research team to develop unique equipment for a Chinese military division in Kashmir that is separate from the standardized Soviet arsenal. This effort were disrupted by the Soviets and the newly arisen Epsilon Army, resulting in the loss of their Kashmir Home base and most of the Iron Dragon vehicles, which were the end result for the particle collision research.
Meanwhile, the KI branch in Japan faced an invasion from the Epsilon forces, and lockdown of their facilities as a result of the Revolt's actions, which were led by Yunru. After being assisted by the Revolt, this branch and the remaining Pacific Front forces joined with the Revolt in their journey to Alaska to escape the effects of the Mental Omega Device. Not all KI forces joined with the Revolt, and as a result were wiped out by the Epsilon.
After the remaining Allied forces escaped from Antarctica to Alaska through the chronoshifting of the remains of the Paradox Engine, the Japanese branch and overseas branch were united in a twist of fate, though in the worst of circumstances, as a massive Epsilon invasion. Together with the remaining scientists including Yunru, they fixed the time manipulation circuits of the Paradox Engine and separated the Alaskan stronghold from the rest of the world through a Time Freeze.
The reunited Kanegawa Industries is presumed to be assimilated into the Foehn Revolt.
Technologies[]
Initially developing technology for the Pacific Front, Kanegawa Industries were forced to work under the Chinese occupiers. As a result, it developed an arsenal separate from both the Allies and the Soviets, which formed the basis behind the Foehn Revolt's arsenal.
Gameplay-wise, the following units are only available to the Revolt's Pacific Front forces, and usually in limited numbers.

Behind the scenes[]
- In version 3.3.5, a type of "Kanegawa International" billboard (see Gallery) appeared in Obstinate and Godsend (see Gallery). The sign on the billboard is from flipping the frame part of the Foehn logo upside down. It is now replaced by FutureTech billboard.
Trivia[]
- Kanegawa (金川) literally means "gold river" in Japanese. "金" (kane) means gold, "川" (gawa) means the river. See also: Chinese Etymology Site.
- It shares its name with another organization in Red Alert 3. However, Kanegawa Industries plays a larger role in Mental Omega, as they are responsible for a myriad of Allied advanced units, instead of a single unit like its Red Alert 3 counterpart.
- The appearance of of all KI Lab structures originates from Tiberium Wars.
