Sega Software R&D Dept. #9[3] was a predecessor to United Game Artists and, alongwith Smilebit, a successor of Sega CS1, therefore was the new home of many former Panzer Dragoon developers, although was lead by previous AM Annex head Tetsuya Mizuguchi of arcade game Sega Rally Championship fame. Fittingly, R&D Dept. #9 also continued several developers, previously from CS2 involved with porting Sega Rally to the Sega Saturn.
The original Japanese release of Space Channel 5 was released under the Sega Software R&D Dept. #9 name, but began development at Sega Digital Media in 1997[4], after developers such as Yumiko Miyabe and Mayumi Moro had migrated from CS1[5].
R&D Dept. #9 also had a short-lived predecessor named CS4[6][7]. CS4 seems to have been founded around the same time the Dreamcast launched, or at least, Soft R&D 9's starting point was said to have come at this time[6]. While this CS4 should not be confused with the Sega CS4 of 1994-1995, some likely staff from that older CS4 were present for R&D Dept. 9, such as Ryuichi Hattori and Osamu Hori.
