If you qualify you are entitled to only the Japan citizenship. Your father must have been a citizen of Japan at the time of your birth and he must have registered you in his family register (koseki).
However, if your father was a Japan citizen at the time of your birth and he failed or forgot to register you in his koseki, he must now recognize you and certified you as his son before your 22nd birthday, and you must apply for the citizenship with the Japan Government.
Also Japan does not recognize dual citizenship – you will have to choose and relinquish other citizenship on your 22nd birthday.
