Uhh, that's seriously lacking any substance, why do you think the Filipinos, Chinese, Koreans, and so on generally do not like the Japanese even today?

Talk about ignorance.

IJN, for starters.... Arashi. Her pulled aboard an downed USN pilot during Midway then proceeded to torture him for the exact location of the USN carriers, then took the pilot out to her stern, and proceeded to execute him with a fireaxe, and botched it. Then they threw him back overboard, the pilot was still alive and hung to the railings of the ship. The IJN sailors then proceeded to hack at him with the fireaxe till he dropped into the sea.

And theres numerous cases of the IJN doing things like this throughout the war.

Stuff like this, in turn led the USN to adopt a no-mercy policy.

Then there's the Battle of Manila. IJN sailors turned footsoliders executing civilians for no reason there.

Please forgive my english, it's not my first language.
