America entered World War II primarily due to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, which killed over 2,400 Americans and galvanized public opinion in favor of entering the conflict. Prior to this, the U.S. had been providing support to Allied nations through programs like Lend-Lease but had maintained a policy of neutrality. The attack prompted Congress to declare war on Japan the following day, and shortly after, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States, fully involving America in the global conflict.

Why were the Japanese so late in entering the war?

You might mean why were the Americans so late in entering the war; if you're referring to WWII. The Japanese were probably the first enter WWII, if one were to count fighting in China in 1933. The US didn't enter WWII until the end of 1941 (December 7, 1941).
