Why do Chinese and Japanese look the same?

They have similarities, because Japanese written language is mostly based on Chinese. The Japanese use around 2000 symbolic characters called Kanji, which each represent a full word or concept and are directly borrowed from Chinese.

These are called Katakana and Hiragana, and are more of an alphabet-based way of writing things, useful for imported words.

Japanese is the early stage of Chinese?

No - Japanese and Chinese are completely different languages - Chinese is a mono-syllabic tone language, and Japanese is a language where most words are multi-syllabic. China had developed a script thousands of years ago, before scholars and monks brought the Chinese script to Japan (around the year 400? - I am not sure). Then a peculiar way of writing in Chinese and pronouncing it in Japanese ("kan-bun") was developed in Japan, before abbreviated Chinese letters {"characters") were created with phonetic values corespoding to the Japanese system of syllables; These "letters" are the present day hiragana and katakana syllabaric letters, which are mixed in the same sentence - even the same word - witth Chinese characters. So both languages are completely different, but Japanese has a mixed writing system using also Chinese letters - and in the course of history, many Chinese words were introduced into the Japanese language - written with Chinese letters and pronounced in Japanee phonetics. Sorry - it is a long explanation - but the facts are quite complex.
