well, we have two situations:
first: the jesuits were the dudes who decided to put an end to the religious system in those lands....but sorry, nipons were not naive like the native americans-all-over-the continent were...and then they got cruxified....
The name is pretty clear: jesuits....more than the saint is the Jesus loved name what was first and the Francishood took a round over there

also, look into the possibility that the Silk Roads may have/probably brought Christianity to Japan first... because the saint who brought Christianity probably traveled along the Silk Roads.

Francis Xavier
He arrived Kagoshima, South Japan in 1549
That Francis Xavier (ãã©ã³ã·ã¹ã³ã»ã¶ãã¨ã«) introduced Christianity is taught at Japanese History class of every junior high school and high school in Japan, so most Japanese people know his name.

Not sure but I am guessing it may be the Jesuits who did that.
