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?

Japan has almost as much land area as California, and like 3x the population of California.
Not exactly small. Just looks small when sitting next to the rest of Asia.
