The Reason was simply that 90% of the Main Japanese Army, which included most of the Tank Units and other Units, were stationed in China, Japan and other Parts they had under there Control. America only was fighting against 10% of the Japanese Army in the Pacific at most. Plus since they were a Island Nation, they focused more on Aircrafts and Ship instead of Weapons for Land Battles like Tanks ( They had the same old Doctrine like France had in 1940, like using Tanks in Infantry Units only for Support and such Things) which was why they had even until 1944/1945 Ha-Go, Chi-Ha and such Tanks as Main Tanks.

Tanks tend to be less common in amphibious operations. Think about getting them ashore, and only after the infantry secured the beach. They were mostly infantry support in the Pacific.

For what they were initially designed, the Type 95 Ha Go (the japanese tank depicted in this video) was an excellent tank. That tank was designed to meet mid 1930s specifications, and was a great asset in the early years of the war in Chine, outclassing all the armored vehicles it faced in that theatre. Also it was the ideal tank to use in an island campaign, with dense vegetation and lots of muddy terrain, as its small size would help maneuvering the vehicle, and would outperform most vehicles the defenders of said islands would have at that time. The Type 95 Ha Go was a victim of its initial success, and since it faired so well, the japanese didn't saw the need for initial replacement. When the US first entered the war in the Pacific, numerous M3 and M5 light tanks were used in that theatre, and the Type 95 could handle that position, although being outclassed in all regards. Only when the M4 and the M3 Lee/Grant was brough in to the Pacific campaign was the moment that the Japanese faced an opposition that their tanks couldn't handle, but by then their War Economy couldn't handle the massive production of new models of tanks, so the better, newer models, with larger caliber weapons that could face the US Medium tanks were kept in reserve for the defense of the Home Islands, effectively being saved for a campaign that never happened. That said the Type 95 was a good tank for the role it was designed for, a light, small, easy to transport armored vehicle, that could fight and maneuver in a tight jungle environment and the China/Manchuria. Only when the tank was used beyond what it was designed for that its "flaws" started to show, but that would be comparable in the European campaign to the M4s when facing other more advanced German tanks. Context is important to understand this vehicles.

The Emperor had final say. There was an attempted assassination of all the pro-peace Japanese cabinet. It's a very interesting story. He was allowed to live and remain "Emperor", but Gen. MacArthur was the de facto head of Japan after WW2. That wasn't unconditional surrender at all, but it worked to stop the war. I hope that helps at least some.
