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.

Why did Japanese leaders view the us s an enemy?
Japanese leaders viewed the U.S. as an enemy due to rising tensions stemming from American opposition to Japanese expansion in Asia, particularly in China and the Pacific. The U.S. imposed economic sanctions and trade restrictions, including an embargo on oil, which threatened Japan's resource supply and military ambitions. Additionally, cultural differences and the perception of the U.S. as a threat to Japanese sovereignty fueled nationalist sentiments, leading to the belief that conflict was inevitable. These factors culminated in Japan's decision to engage in military action against the U.S. during World War II.
