When you consider the fact that the Japanese beleived that their emperor was a direct descendant of the Sun Goddess, you'll see that the red circle represents the sun.

We call it æ¥ç« æ (Nisshouki) or æ¥ã®ä¸¸ (Hinomaru). Nisshouki means "sun flag" and Hinomaru means "sun disc/circle". I hope that helped you out!
