Admiral Yamamota, the Supreme Commander of the Japanese Navy. He was highly respected and the military explicitly trusted his judgment and analysis.
He had studied at Harvard University before the war, and understood the potential America posed, if its war economy got off the ground. He knew that the United States was blessed with immense Natural Resources unlike the Japanese. He convinced his government that only a quick and lethal strike against Pearl Harbor would give the Japanese an opportunity to defeat the Americans before they had time to mobilize and in time, overwhelm his country.
Unfortunately for the Japanese, they didn't sink the 2 American aircraft carriers and would pay for that at the Battle of Midway in June 1942. Admiral Yamamota after Midway and the sinking of its 4 battle carriers, realized the war was lost.

Japan did issue a declaration of war to the US, with the idea that Pearl Harbor would be attacked before defenses could be mobilized.

If Japan had declared war and then attacked Pearl Harbor the next day, damage would have been much less and Japanese losses much higher. The success of the attack, on which Japanese strategy in the Pacific was based, depended on surprise.
