Will marrying a Japanese national make you a Japanese citizen? It'll give you a visa called, "Spouse of a Japanese national" but I don't think it immediately leads to Japanese citizenship.

As for your second question, according to Wikipedia :

Article 2 of the Nationality Act provides three situations in which a person can become a Japanese national at birth:

1. When either parent is a Japanese national at the time of birth
2. When the father dies before the birth and is a Japanese national at the time of death
3. When the person is born on Japanese soil and both parents are unknown or stateless
