Those who fought in the South Pacific would beg to differ. And the Japanese were also committing genocide and enslaving populations in the countries they occupied. The fact that they didn’t do more damage to the US was because the US successfully prevented them from doing so, not because they were decent people.
I’m not trying to excuse Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but let’s also not pretend Tojo and his gang were anything but murderous power-mad scum.
