Battotai, also known as the Japanese Army Branch March (抜刀隊, Battō-tai or 陸軍分列行進曲 Rikugun bunretsu kōshinkyoku) is a Japanese March composed in the 1880s by Charles Leroux and published in 1912, and is used by the Japanese Army, Police and formerly the Imperial Army of Japan.

During the fierce Battle of Tabaruzaka the Imperial Government pulled an unexpected move, and initiated hand-to-hand combat. The name derives from the Sword-Wielding Troops (or Battotai) units that were used during the engagement.
