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?

Simple: It’s not a tiny country. They had a population of 70 million at the time. That is larger than Germany, the UK, or France. It was more than half the population of the United States. But yes, there was massive conscription, especially later on in the war as they became more and more desperate.
