Germany and Japan were Allies, fighting separate wars against the same enemies. The was really very little co-ordination or cooperation between them. They really didin't trust each other.

Japan attacked Pearl Harbor to neutralize the US fleet. The Japanese wanted to plunder and concquer the colonies of empires conquered by or at war with Germany and Japan.
The Dutch East Indies, French InoChina, and the British colonies and Commonwealths were tempting targets.
