Technically under the presumed court order with respect to the custodial arrangement between you and your former spouse with respect to your son, he cannot legally take your son with him to live full time based upon what you have written.
I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney as to what should be done with respect to some motion to keep your son living in the United States if your former husband will not sign a stipulation that the son will be residing primarily with you while he is in Japan.
