Since you mentioned the giant salamander, it's worth remembering that any crayfish they feed on are also an invasive species. These crayfish, incidentally, were introduced as feed for bullfrogs (yet another invasive species!), but some escaped following the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake and are now in almost all waterways in mainland Japan.

No, Japan already had entertainment programs which cover invasive species, how and why they are here, and that it's not their fault. One program also brings up the point of invasive native species (e.g. the Amur catfish) which are native to parts of Japan but invasive in other parts.

They are very strong because they are climbers, and diggers, have long strong claws as well as teeth and go for the eyes, throat, and genitals if attacked. The only thing I believe that can defeat them their size are mustelids (Badger, Wolverine, Fisher, Yellow Martin, and in the water Otters).

In Germany we have both the raccoon as well as the raccoon dog as introduced species and immigrant species respectively, but the damage they cause is relatively small. Raccoons, introduced in 1934, displaced neither the native badgers nor the raccoon dogs that had migrated since the 1960s. All we got is more animal diversity. In Germany some 50,000 badgers, between 15,000 to 30,000 raccoon dogs and some 200,000 raccoons are hunted each year, since none of them is threatened.
