My flight arrives at Narita and, after a 9 hour layover, I connect to another flight from Haneda airport to my final destination, Kuala Lumpur. Do I need to apply for a visa if I’m going to be transferred from one airport to another?

If you require a visa to enter Japan, then you'll need one to switch airports, unless it's an overnight transfer, in which case you can get a 72-hour entry stamp on arrival.
