Russia fielded approximately 2,000,000 men during the war; Japan fielded about 400,000 men. Combined, less than 2 1/2 million men fought each other. Of that number Japan lost approximately 85,000 men and Russia about 125,000 men.

The Russians fielded approximately 2 million men, losing about 125,000. The Japanese fielded about 400,000 men, losing roughly 85,000.

Japanese losses were higher per the number of men fielded due to their offensive drives; whilst the Russians conducted primarily defensive operations. Offensive (attacking) armies inherently suffer higher casualties, as they must also have higher numbers in order to successfully conduct an offensive. The preferable (school doctrine) ratio is 3 to 1 for the attacker and defender respectively.

Were other countries involved in the Russo-japanese war?

None. Just those two. Britain had a treaty with Japan (signed in 1902) stating if any nation sides with Russia as an active combatant; Britain would side with Japan. Thus: The Russo-Japanese War of 1904 could've very easily turned into WWI (which occurred 10 years later).
