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?

Japan was/is a big country. At 70 million people, it had the same population as Nazi Germany, and only fielded 6 million troops vs 10+ million by the Germans. Mostly because a lot of their fighting was done on islands in the Pacific, where troop numbers were naturally limited by island size and spy lines.
