Was Japanese ever tonal, perhaps or maybe or probably it depends who you ask, the classification of the family is difficult since its debated, it links to island languages it links inisde China and to the Korean word which no longer has tones if it once did, Thailand and Vietnam still have tones, scholars believe that Japonic was brought to the Japanese archipelago from the Korean peninsula with the Yayoi culture, a lot of Japanese dialects have been lost over time, North of Tokyo was a type of Hokkaido Siberia Alaska or Ainu culture a Native group outside of the Japanese culture and there was interaction, Proto-Japonic, also known as Proto-Japanese or Proto-Japanese–Ryukyuan, is the reconstructed language ancestral to the Japonic language family.
