Divided Japan: Some questions...

Let's say in this scenario, Japan gets the Korea treatment, meaning it was divided by the Allies equally into two parts, and later became two separate states; one communist and one capitalist.

Some questions would be:

- Where are the possible borders. At what parallel will Japan be divided?

- What will be the capital cities?

- How will this affect America's strategy in Asia during the Cold War?

- How will Japan turn out in this TL?
 
I just don't see this. *At most* Stalin could get Hokkaido *if* he managed to invade it successfully. (Even then I think there is at least as good a chance that it is used as a bargaining chip for the neutralization of Japan as that it becomes a People's Republic.)
