Did the militarists in Japan look to the Nazis as a model during their takeover?

No. The Japanese ideology was very far from that of Nazi Germany nearly in any respect.
They officially condemned racism.
They declared preference to Asia over Europe.
They did not express any notable anti-Semitism and anti-Slavism.
That said, a lot of countries were far from democracy those times, so Japan was not an exception.

The Japanese were well aware of fascist ideas in the 1930s. They probably were not highly influential during this time period though. The largest reason is that fascism uses a dictator, which would negate the role of the emperor. There were few political parties and organizations that used the label of "fascist" and communism was much more popular among the people as a solution to economic ills.
The changes from the more liberal Taisho democracy that brought them closer to true fascist countries were brought about for a few reasons:
- A rejection of liberal democracy due to a reaction to communist revolutionaries
- An attempt to provide a solution to a poor economy by rejecting liberalism and using central planning, which is not unique to only Nazism or fascism
- An attempt to reclaim Japanese position internationally through promoting national solidarity, traditional culture, and wartime expansion.
