How many Japanese fought at Pearl Harbor? I just need an approximation, I know that 55 were killed, which was lower numbers compared to the United States....I can't find the numbers for this anywhere because it isn't well documented except the causalities.
Would you say an accurate number would be like 4,000 or more or less than that?Thanks
Also what weapons did the U.S. use?
I know they had battleships,torpedos but what else
I don't think accurate figures for the number of Japanese pilots are available anywhere. Estimates are t

As to weaponry, the Army Air Force was involved, and we did have anti-aircraft guns.

How many Japanese fought at Pearl Harbor? Six Japanese aircraft carriers, numerous support vessels? Well over 4000.
To approximate the number of Japanese who fought at Pearl Harbor, we can look at historical records and estimates. On December 7, 1941, the attack on Pearl Harbor was conducted by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service. The Japanese naval force launched two waves of air attacks, targeting battleships, cruisers, and other military facilities.
The number of Japanese fighters involved in the attack is not well-documented and may vary across sources. However, it is generally estimated that around 350 aircraft were a part of the Japanese attacking force. Each aircraft was typically manned by one or two crew members. Therefore, we can assume that there were at least several hundred Japanese personnel involved in the attack.
While I couldn't find an exact figure, the approximation of 4,000 Japanese fighters seems relatively high based on available estimates. Considering the scale of the attack and the number of aircraft and crew members involved, a range of a few hundred to a few thousand would be a more reasonable estimate.
It's worth noting that the casualty count you mentioned refers to the number of Japanese personnel killed during the attack, not the total number of individuals involved.
