Though Japanese Kanji does come from the Chinese, modern Chinese has been simplified, so in many cases the Japanese Kanji is an older, different character. Japanese hiragana and katakana, however, do not exist in Chinese.

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.
