Question

Answer 1

OK, first imperialism means empire building. In other words, when a country uses it's military and economic power to expand by different means to force or intimidate other countries to trade, share it's resources (oil, rubber, steel etc) and support it against enemies, that is imperialism.

BOTH America and Japan were engaged in expansion (imperialism)

Prior to attacking Pearl Harbor, America and Japan were in an economic trade war. Japan was using it's military might to force nations into buying it's manufactured goods. There were nations that had been buying goods produced in the U.S. The U.S. placed a blockade around Japan, stopping other countries from shipping materials Japan needed to produce products to sell. Japan has no oil or other raw material on it's own land, and must import it, in order to manufacture goods to sell.

Japan joined Germany and Italy in an alliance and later mounted a surprise military attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor, in an effort to destroy America's military.    

Answer 2

'Fighting imperialism' as in Japan fighting against western empires, or Japanese people fighting against their own country's imperialism?

If former, then Sonnō jōi (Revere the Emperor, Expel the Barbarians) movements are what you want to look up for.  Japan had been closed off the country for over 3 centuries until Matthew C. Perry's from U.S. threatened them with their latest privateer.  Japanese Shogun tried to make alliance with the western countries, while the local Lords of the west prevailed emperor to expel European forces and to defeat Shogun.  This movement throughout the early stage of the revolution.

If latter, there wasn't really a big movements by Japanese people against it's own imperialism.  It naturally died out after WWII.  Only thing you could mention would be the communist movements, but they were hardly powerful compared to that of Russian or Chinese.
