See for yourself.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.

(Perhaps this may be old news; but still, WHY.)

Well, English is a hodge-podge of other languages, American English even more, guess it was just a matter of time before we stole words from Japan too.

Coincidentally, so am I. It's for an essay regarding the topic "Why is humanity and society doomed due to absolute retardation pandemics".

This will make a nice statistic.

Looks like you made a really big typo in your original post. Don't worry, it happens to the best of us.

Tsunami, Samurai, Ninja, Sushi, Anime, Cosplay, Hara Kiri, Honcho, Jujitsu, Futon, Kamikaze, Kimono, Soy, Seppuku, Sumo, Tofu to name a few.
I guarantee you there are more loan words from English to Japanese, though. Every living language is full of words from other languages, not just English.

Technically a lot of those are not taken since they are simply the proper name for it, kinda like how they use SPONGEEBOBBU! it's still spongebob because it's spongebob. Though it is common to have different words for things if their language had them already, a bear might be a konkaku in Thailand (I really doubt that is true) but if a new animal is discovered it would be a "Stanley" everywhere.
