There is not enough land in Japan that can be used for growing crops or raising animals, so they tend to exist on rice that they grow, and fish, which they have caught for thousands of years.

The ocean is all around Japan, and is the easiest way to get good, nourishing meat.

Why sushi? Why not? Cooking food is more part of the European/American culture than the Japanese; besides, sushi is tasty. Now, if the Japanese ate a lot of pork, they would have learned centuries ago to cook it. The Japanese also eat a lot of pickled foods (which are not cooked).

In Japan fish happen to be easy to come by because it is group of islands in the middle of the sea. They had to do something with all of that fish, why not make food out of it? Plus it is very nutritional as long as you eat it around the time it is made.

Because sushi has been in the Japanese diet for a long time partially due to their close proximity to the sea.

It just suits the culinary preferences of some. For others, they see fancy people eating it and eat it, but then they start to like it. Some others just pretend to like it to be "Asian."
