Japanese carriers and carrier procedures

[Dragon1-1]

Zero is, fundamentally, a naval aircraft, and as such, I'd expect we'll be flying from a WWII Japanese carrier most of the time. I'd expect them to use an approach pattern similar to what every other nation did, but I wonder what they did differently from the US and British carriers. Any info about how to realistically take off and land on a Japanese carrier would be appreciated.

Not sure about that.
The Navy only switched to the base turn approach (instead of a straight in) as a solution to the obstructed view by the long nose of the corsair afaik. 
So basically it was invented during the pacifik theatre.

I assume the Japanese Navy used straigh in approaches for the most part.

There is a video about landing.
