Why are Japanese yellow? Does it have anything to do with his history? Was it brought down by the Americans during the Meiji Restoration?

No. Before the Meiji Restoration, prostitution was legal in Japan and was also one of the main sources of tax revenue. The justification of banning prostitution in Meiji Restoration is to hope that the western world will not regard Japan as a barbaric nation. It has nothing to do with America, but their national nature. Up to now, prostitution in Japan is semi-legal and cannot be banned at all. Therefore, Japan is only an economically developed country, and culturally they can't compare with the West and even some developing and backward countries.
