An exact number for the population of whales is unknown so the percentage hunted by the Japanese cannot be calculated.
Over 1000 whales in Antarctica, get killed each year.
It varies by the decade you are on about. Especially when it comes to whaling For whaling alone about 20,000 whales are hunted each decade. If you include boat accidents involving whales and whales dying in captivity then that number increases to around around 200,000 in a decade.
Over 400 different whales are hunted each year due to whaling.

between 35,000 and 45,000
The number of whales killed each year varies significantly due to factors like hunting regulations, natural causes, and bycatch in fishing operations. Commercial whaling, which is still practiced by a few countries, results in the deaths of hundreds of whales annually. Additionally, thousands more may die due to entanglement in fishing gear, ship strikes, and environmental changes. Overall, estimates suggest that thousands of whales may die each year, but exact numbers can be difficult to determine.
