The goal of the Americans' campaign against the Japanese in the Pacific during World War II was to defeat Japan and halt its expansion across Asia and the Pacific. This involved a series of military strategies, including island-hopping, aimed at capturing key islands to establish bases closer to Japan. The ultimate objective was to weaken Japanese military capabilities and pave the way for a potential invasion of the Japanese mainland, thereby ensuring Allied victory in the war.

I assume you are referring to WWII here... it is not so much that the Japanese viewed the Americans as an enemy, so much as it was they viewed the US as a threat to their plans to expand their sphere of influence in the Pacific Ocean. Japan is a very small country in terms of land and as such, is one of the largest importers of goods in the world. Japan wanted to expand to the islands in the Pacific to eliminate some of their reliance on imports. At this time, the United States Pacific Fleet was massive, and if it remained in play, would hinder the Japanese in their goal of dominating the Pacific Ocean.
