Note:

[1] Until 1934, the Chinese selections were exclusively or predominantly
    composed of players from South China AA (aka Nan Hua), a Chinese club
    based in Hong Kong.  The matches between 1939 and 1942 were played 
    during the Japanese occupation of (most of coastal) China, after the
    Nanking massacre of 1937, and did not involve any independent official
    Chinese football association or organisation.
[2] Now Indonesia.  The current Indonesian FA (PSSI) does not recognise
    the pre-war matches of the Dutch East Indies played by representative
    teams from the N.I.V.B. (until 1935) or N.I.V.U. (since 1936) but both
    were full FIFA members at the time. 
[3] Now Changchun, People's Republic of China.  "Manchuria" (aka Manchukuo)
    was a Japanese puppet state in northeastern China.
[4] Now Korea (South and North).  Kyungsung is the old name of Seoul. 
    At that time (during WW II) Chosun was not a independent state, but 
    governed by Japan.
[5] Old name of Malaysia.
[6] Since then, China means People's Republic of China.

[#] Before World War II, when Japan colonized Korea, some Korean players
    played for Japan national team.
[*] JFA didn't count those matches as full internationals.
[-] FIFA didn't count those Olympic matches as full internationals.
[=] Japan sent U-21 squad for Asian Games 1998.
