I'm a Japanese = you're a person from Japan.
I'm the Japanese = you're the person from Japan, not the other people.
For example:
A book = one book.
The book = that book, not the other books.
I need a book = I need one book, any book is okay.
I need the book = I need that specific book, I don't need the other books.
