If at the end of the second world war japan was split into Occupation zones, a Soviet zone, an American zone and a British Zone.
how would this affect history?

The British and American zones would unite, both sides would intervene in China, nuclear mushroom clouds everywhere.

That depens on how it would be split. Who would own Tokyo? I suppose you mean Hokkaido and the North of Hnoshu will be Soviet? They won't have all that much occupied then, even if they have half of Tokyo like with Berlin.
I doubt a iron curtain like in Germany would be possible without naval blockades that would strain both sides to collapse inevitably. There would be no wall across Japan to seperate the Communist side from the Democractic side.
South part of Japan, with Shikoku and Kyushu held(holds) most of the industrial power and population.
No way the Communists can keep the North stable and under its thumb. They are not Germans.
The Soviets would receive Hokkaido, Aomori, Akita, Iwate, Yamagata, Miyagi, Fukushima, Nigata, Tochiga, Ibaraki, Chiba and half of Tokyo.That depens on how it would be split. Who would own Tokyo?

If America, nuker of cities and bringer of consumerism was able to revamp Japan, the Soviets could have too.
i've said what i think about it. But some people Always seem to go for the extreme and think that it would mean a dual front cold war instead of collapse. MOrei ntervention in China seems highly unlikely to me. The Korean war will be butterflied away as well.
Some people even would say there will be war between them over Japan while that didn't happen for Germany neither.
not if its a 50/50 split of the country. Hokkaido had most of the food production but without industry the USSR would need to provide everything to the Japanese. I don't know how thats going to work.

If thats how it is, USSR has nothing but the food.
