Japanese scientists were pioneers of AI, yet they’re being written out of its history (theconversation.com)

Was Japan big in research in the 60s and 70s? I always thought they were big in manufacturing, engineering, electronics etc? I've never heard about fundamental research in maths or computer science... Which is kind of the point of the article. But I wonder if that research happened for some (local) industry demand or if it's some pure (academic) research. And the whole context.
