The Japanese POW camps were certainly much more akin to the German concentration camps, that is for sure. I recall reading the death rate in the Japanese POW camps approached 40%.

The code of Bushido considered it a shame to surrender to an enemy, so the Japanese treated their prisoners thusly. Many times they just ritually executed prisoners on the spot.
