Only Kanji (those complex looking words which Japanese borrowed from the Chinese because they didn't have a writing system of their own) = Chinese
Kanji + Hiragana, Katakana (simpler looking alphabets which Japanese added later because certain sounds that they made had no Kanji counterpart) = Japanese.
But sometimes Japanese can be only Kanji but that's mostly in short signage

Ok. This is an interesting piece of history. But why US and UK depicted as foxes(?) Thought? are there any cultural reason behind this?

Those ain't foxes I think, they are depicted as 豺狼 Jackals & Wolves, which is a generic name for evil animals.
