'''R&D Dept. #1''' (第一研究開発本部{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20231126053230/https://www.4gamer.net/games/000/G000000/20131213085/index_6.html}} also called R&D1{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20231126052851/https://cedec.cesa.or.jp/2011/en/sessions/panel_discussion/index.html}} amd R&D#1{{intref|Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed/Production credits
}}) was the first arcade division of [[Sega Corporation (2000-2015)|Sega]]. It acted as the natural successor to [[Sega AM1 (2005-2011)|Sega AM1]], just with the Amusement (AM) moniker dropped. It also had more public presence, including its own website and social media accounts. It was succeeded by [[Sega Interactive R&D1]] upon the founding of [[Sega Interactive (Japan)|Sega Interactive]] in April 2015. The R&D website ceased many of its activities 2 months later{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20170915173148/http://buzz.sega.jp/news/}} and became inactive in early December 2017{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20171208180542/http://buzz.sega.jp:80/}}.

As a melting pot of many previous departments, R&D1 developed a variety of different products, including mobile games{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20170915180038/http://buzz.sega.jp/title_list/}} (e.g. ''[[Chain Chronicle]]'', ''[[Fuuin Yuusha! Mine Tou to Sora no Meikyuu]]'') arcade video games{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20170915180038/http://buzz.sega.jp/title_list/}} (e.g. ''[[maimai]]'', ''[[The World of Three Kingdoms]]''), medal games{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20170915180038/http://buzz.sega.jp/title_list/}} (e.g. ''[[Horuka x Toruka]]'', ''[[Hokuto no Ken Battle Medal]]''), arcade games for kids{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20170915180038/http://buzz.sega.jp/title_list/}} (e.g. ''[[Zukan no Tamago]]'', ''[[Uno Challe]]'') and other products{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20170915180038/http://buzz.sega.jp/title_list/}} (e.g. ''[[Toylets]]'', ''[[Rec Check Golf]]'').

While the majority of R&D1's mobile efforts saw international release, its arcade games remained in Japan, though ''[[maimai]]'' would later expand into international territories{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20200921042155/https://maimai.sega.com/}}.

The R&D1 Supporters Site was launched in 2014 to offer benefits to players of their biggest community-driven arcade titles: ''[[:category:World Club Champion Football|World Club Champion Football]]'', ''Chain Chronicle'', ''[[Code of Joker]]'', and ''The World of Three Kingdoms{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20231126160424/https://gw.sega.jp/gw/news/index.html?category=3&id=213}}.
