If you got married in Japan and you are still in Japan, you probably need to get divorced in Japan no matter where he is. Unless you can locate him in a U.S. state, and show he has lived in that state for six months or more, the U.S. courts will not take the case. You should contact a bengoshi near you who does divorce work for advice. Only if you can prove your husband is in California can a California gai-ben like me help you.

I agree with Mr. McCormick. You need to consult with someone familiar with Japanese law, in Japan.
