They recently opened a fingerprint database sharing program with the US, but it's limited to the FBI and DHS, and (in theory at least) it's only accessible for a short list of 34 crimes considered "serious", like murder and human trafficking. That's the first data sharing program I'm aware of them having, the Japan Bar Association throws blocks in every time they try to ease cross-border access. With most countries it's a literal written request and paper records provided system.They also don't seem to share info across borders either. Not like the US / Canada or Australia / NZ seem to do.
