You really need to study the facts more.

Eugenics and racial superiority was a tenant of National Socialism.

The issue in Japan was the rise of Militarism. In particular the principle that civilians had no right interfering in military affairs. There was also the belief that if a country/culture had the strongest army that was proof that the morals and philosophy of that country were superior.

Whilst often accused of Fascism, of the two, the 21st century United States is far closer to the views of Japanese Militarism than it is to National Socialism.
