The Japanese had 10 classes of carriers during the time
Discounting other sea engagements, at the battles of Coral Sea and Midway the IJN lost 1 and 4 carriers respectively.

Even if you exclude the smaller aircraft carriers in World War 2, there were still many more than 5 or 6. The US Navy commissioned 23 aircraft carriers of the Essex class during the war, not to mention others in US service, and those used by the British and Japanese navies.
I know the United States has 9 aircraft carriers. Rest of the world??
Four. The Akagi , Soryu , Hiryu , and Kaga.
None. Unfortunately, for the Japanese, there were no aircraft carriers docked at Pearl Harbor at the time of the attack.
not totally but we sank many Japanese ship including aircraft carriers preventing the kamakazies from bombing the American ships
There are aircraft carriers all over the world. America has about 16 of various types. Many other countries also have aircraft carriers.
