Would like to know if cooked frozen food for baby or raw fruit (ie banana) can be brought into Japan.

You can bring fruit with you into Japan. You must go to the "Plant Quarantine" section of the airport and have your fruit inspected before clearing customs. The following fresh fruits are prohibited from importation into Japan: apple, pear, quince, nectarine, peach, plum, apricot, and cherry. I have brought oranges, strawberries, and tangerines with no problem. Each time they are inspected and cleared.

This might seem strange but I was thinking that bringing powdered cheese like the kind you get in a mac & cheese kit would make a lot of sense given the cost of cheese and the cost of american packaged goods. What else would people bring? I noticed that american cake mixes that I pay $1 for were 900 Yen - yikes.

Even though cereal is easier to find over the past year or two, I still bring a box or two with me when I arrive. Japanese style breakfast is the one meal I havent gotten used to (and western style is very pricey for a family of 4), so a box of cereal plus disposable bowls and spoons from Lawsons does the trick for me.
