Ozkai, can you elaborate on that? I'm a vegetarian living in Japan, and I totally disagree. A fish-eating vegetarian in Japan would have a much easier time, but Japanese food that doesn't contain either fish stock or pork fat is relatively rare.
halfdead, I hope you aren't planning to do a homestay when you come here. It would be very difficult for a Japanese family to cater for a vegan and you would cause them a lot of inconvenience- they would have no idea what to serve you. You would be better off getting your own room somewhere and preparing your own food.
Incidentally if you do an internet search, you will find loads of information and in fact whole websites dedicated to the topic of being vegetarian/vegan in Japan.
