Why Did Japan Join the Nazis? (Given, You Know, the Nazis Explicitly Hated Non-Aryans)

the last seats weren't exactly shy about the fact that they didn't really care for individuals of a race other than the one they idealized further the Japanese seemingly had no problem with people's like the Jews even going so far as in World War II taking in Jewish refugees from German occupied lands further unlike Germany's European allies during World War II when the Nazis attempted to pressure Japan to join in on their anti-jewish activities the Japanese government not only didn't listen but even had official policy in place explicitly prohibiting expelling any Jew from Japan or territories they occupied a policy they maintained throughout the war even as Jews who escaped from occupied regions continue to flood into Japanese territories Japanese Diplomat yasuke matsoka summed up I am the man responsible for the alliance with Hitler but nowhere have I promised that we would carry out his anti-semitic policies in Japan this is not simply my personal opinion it is the opinion of Japan and I have no compunction about announcing it to the world given all this it seemed rather odd that Japan Nazi Germany should sign a series of agreements with one another eliminating in the famous tripartite packed in 1940 with the Nazis and for that matter why did the Nazis want to join Japan not only so far away from their own country but also populated by non-aryans who not only couldn't have cared less about Nazi ideology but actually pretty fundamentally disagreed with it now before we get into any of that as a point of clarification despite popular perception it's a major stretch to say that Japan and Germany were actually allies in anything but the most surface level sense in fact outside of Hitler's eventual declaration of war against the United States shortly after Japan attacked the U.S the two sides didn't really do much of anything of any use to support the other Japan even refused to offer so much as economic concessions to Germany
