I'm with you and don't see what's so difficult to understand.
No one celebrates the fact that he killed people outside of a war time environment. But rather celebrate the level of dedicated service to his country. They celebrate his patriotism, nothing else.
People should try to expand their perspective.
That said, the natives who were affected by this man's actions have every right to oppose his return visit and denounce his actions. The flip side of that is that the Japanese people view him as having tremendous love, respect and loyalty to his country and his emperor.
