How was Japan able to send so many troops despite being such a tiny country?

I’ve been watching a number of WW2 films and I realized that Japan is such a tiny country, so it baffles me how they had so many troops. Did they require all the males healthy or not to join the war?

Land size does not matter as much as size of the population.

Russia, the biggest country in the world by land area, has less people than Bangladesh. But Bangladesh has more people than Russia- it has as many people as the entire eastern seaboard of the US, but only the size of Illinois.

Barring industrial output and technological advances which do you think would win? And WWII Japan had superior industry & technology.
