Lots of logistic and technical data on US and Japanese warships, including fuel consumption rates for the US ships

Why do you think the fuel consumption data isn't available for Japanese warships? Were those never disclosed, so to speak?

Sounds possible

Although in the 1906 edition of The Naval Annual [which used to be available for downloading from Internet Archive and may still be] there is a two page article "Trials of New Japanese Battleships" covering Kashima and Katori (which were built in England) and there is mention of coal consumption rates.
