So many people think Japanese are so very smart I think they steal the technology and pawn it off as their own

That's a common perception but not necessarily true. A lot of it has to do with Japan's education system, which emphasizes hard work and focuses heavily on developing practical skills like critical thinking and problem solving. There's also a lot of research into technologies, as well as a highly-developed cultural appreciation of the creativity and achievements of innovators.
