Not really. They look closer to Tibetans, Evenki, Mongolian and other Native Siberian people. The Navajo language is thought to be in a family, the Na-Dene, that may be related to Yenisei. They are a people west of Lake Baikal. They also look a little like Navajo.

There are some genetic links to people who may have started out long ago near the Amur river and lake Baikal in Siberia.

Navajos could be distantly related to the Japanese but is it uncertain. Japanese are thought to be a mix of older Jomon culture people who may be related to the Ainu and the newer Yayoi people who brought rice growing culture and came from Korea and or Jiangsu.

If you travel from Okinawa up to Hokkaido you see a large number of different "looks" among the Japanese (the idea that there is one Japanese "look" is a myth) but most do not look Navajo.
