According to the Great Mind that is the internet, KFC has become a Christmas tradition in Japan.

But it cannot tell me why a people that predominantly practice Shinto and Buddhism celebrate Christmas.

Western influence of course....we were kind of in control there for a few years after WWII... but I don't think they think about the religious side of it much... also add to that Shinto is actually pretty darn inclusive. One can be a Christian in Japan and still follow Shinto, same with Buddhists and Shinto
