Any chance that perhaps the only reason people think Jesus went to Japan is because, like the Jesus myth itself it's a story that has some of the same 'plot' elements and that we cannot prove it true or false? There are parallels in a myths and legends over the world, I wouldn't be surprised if one story from a religion is slightly the same as another, it happens. A lot of the major religions of the world have a 'central character/savior': Zoroaster Vishnu, Mohammed Jesus, Moses etc. They can't all be right and one can only speculate on the details because a holy book is a bad historical document, even more so if it contains things that suspend disbelief and our natural physical laws that we wouldn't believe if some random guy came up to you and told; for example that he could make the sun spin or separate salt water from pure water by metaphysical ways and means, that takes faith; there are no facts to supports miraculous claims, just the same as there is no support for the Kung-Fu Jesus myth.
