No. The second highest earthquake magnitude (depending on the source of the information) was either the Boxing Day 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake (magnitude 9.1 - 9.3) or the 1964 Alaskan earthquake (magnitude 9.2). The Haitian Earthquake in January 2010 had a Richter magnitude of 7.2.
The highest intensity rating is 12 on the Modified Mercalli scale. There is no upper limit for magnitude scales (such as the Moment and Richter magnitude scales) although in practical terms no earthquake larger than magnitude 9.5 has ever been recorded by humans.
Japanese have one of the highest because earthquakes happen there frequently. So no Japan does not.
actually, the highest rating was an earthquake in Chili, coming in on a 9.5
