Why Japan's war-crimes trials seem less visible

Should there have been more Nuremberg-like war-crimes trials in Japan and the Asia-Pacific?

Trials did occur, but deaths among senior suspects and different procedures made them less prominent than Nuremberg.

The premise that no comparable trials occurred in the Asia-Pacific is incorrect. War-crimes proceedings did take place in Japan, but many senior figures who might have faced prosecution were already dead, sometimes by their own action before capture. The cases were also organized and presented differently from the Nuremberg proceedings. Those differences reduced their later public profile even where prosecutions occurred. Unequal historical memory does not prove that an institution or legal process never existed.
