Chinese
Chinese is the older language, with a history dating back thousands of years. Japanese, on the other hand, is believed to have originated around the 9th century AD, influenced by Chinese and other languages.
No, the Japanese language did not develop directly from Chinese. Japanese has its own unique origins and linguistic roots, though it has borrowed some vocabulary and writing characters from Chinese due to historical influences and interactions between the two cultures.
The Japanese word "inu" meaning dog is of Japanese origin and does not come from the Chinese language. It has been a part of the Japanese language for a long time and is unique to Japanese.
"Bleach" is originally a Japanese manga and anime series, so it is spoken in Japanese. It has also been dubbed into various languages, including Mandarin Chinese, but the original language is Japanese.
No, Japanese letters are not the same as Chinese letters. Japanese uses a combination of three writing systems: kanji, hiragana, and katakana. Kanji characters were borrowed from Chinese but have different meanings and pronunciations in Japanese. Hiragana and katakana are syllabic scripts unique to Japanese.
The Japanese adapted Chinese characters to create their own writing system known as kanji. Over time, they also developed two additional phonetic scripts, hiragana and katakana, to supplement the use of kanji. This combination of scripts is known as the Japanese writing system.

Japanese and Chinese written language share some characters known as Han Zi. Japanese also uses Kanji that is not used in Chinese. Modern Chinese is read from left to right and top to bottom (like English). Japanese is not.

Japanese and Chinese
Many Asian cultures were influenced by China. Japan is no exception. Before Japan's introduction to Chinese, they had no writing system. So Japan eventually adapted, as well as changed, the Chinese language, which explains why many Chinese characters are still used in the Japanese language. Also, a section of the modern Japanese language called 'kanji' consists of Chinese characters. == ==
