Of course not. Mandarin is the official language of China and Taiwan, while Japanese is the official language of Japan.
However, Chinese have deep influence in Japanese writing. The Japanese share many common character with Chinese, although differ in pronunciation. I guess this similarity lead you into mistakenly think that Mandarin and Japanese are the same.
Ancient Japanese imported Chinese writing system, as well Feudal system, Confucianism, and Buddhism (which Chinese also imported from India).

No, sweetheart, the official language of Japan is in fact Japanese, not Mandarin.
Mandarin is a main dialect of the Chinese language.
Mandarin is the official language of mainland China, Taiwan, and several other countries (as offical or co-official) in Asia.
