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?

Rice produces a lot more food per acre than wheat or corn, even though it takes a lot of work. So Japan (which isn’t tiny, but is very mountainous) could feed a population not much smaller than Germany’s on less farmland.

Other countries in that part of the world also have surprisingly large populations.
