Japan once had large number of aircraft carriers in service, they don't have one now becoz of pacifist constitution imposed on them by US after defeating them.
And Japan would most certainly have a gigantic carrier strike fleet if it could. It just can't because it lost in WWII like you said and the terms of its unconditional surrender was that she would never be able to form a naval threat that could repeat its imperialistic ambitions of the past. It also does have 4 helicopter carriers and honestly, it's remarkable how it was supposed to be stripped of its military power post WWII defeat & surrender, yet its military is in the top 5 strongest in the world!!! Go figure that one out.
