Remember, Japan (and Germany) lost WWII. As a consequence of WWII, Japan (and Germany to a certain extent) have not been allowed to possess an Army, Navy, nor Air Force & Japan is not allowed to fight wars anymore. The US imposed this law on Japan during the US occupation immediately following the war (Germany received some restrictions also).
