Zero. Japanese is not related to any other language. There is a common misconception that Japanese is related to Chinese, but this is untrue. Japanese has borrowed many words and some of the writing system from Chinese, but the two language families are completely unrelated.

No, Japanese is not an Indo-European language.The Indo-European languages include most languages traditionally spoken in Europe (except Basque, Hungarian and Finnish), including all those derived from Greek, Latin, or both, and a number of languages in western and southern Asia (including Persian, Urdu and Hindi)Japanese is not apparently closely related to any language spoken elsewhere, except on nearby islands (Ryukyu Islands).
