Answer 1

None what you mentioned. But being fluent in Japanese will help a lot and having a BA degree is up there also.

Answer 2

You need a visa and a passport(an american passport if you're from the US).

You can get the japanese citizenship at the japanese embassy(or at the nearest japanese consulate), but only if you have a japanese parent and you're under the age of 22.

To get a visa(not the 3-month tourist one) you have to find a job in Japan, so I'd say you need a 4-year degree at an american university too.

I answered the same question below.

Answer 4

This is the wackiest thing I've heard in a while. Anybody (well, most people) can visit Japan as a tourist. But it seems you want to become a Japanese citizen. Don't you think you ought to visit first before you contemplate something like that. Besides, it's EXTREMELY difficult for a foreigner to gain Japanese citizenship.
