Slash,
You have totally misunderstood Japan's role in Taiwan. Japan has no legitimate claim over Taiwan in any way shape or form. In fact Japan itself has never made any claim on Taiwan ever since the end of WWII.
Not only that, the Japan-Taiwan relationship is a complicated one. One one hand, some people view Japan as a friendly democracy. On the other hand, many people still have painful memories of Japanese occupation. In fact you may have heard about the territorial conflict over the Diaoyu Island between China and Japan. Some Taiwanese are a lot more vocal than even Chinese in their advocacy of CHina's sovereignty over the island.
