As for the confusion with using "had", The difference between "I graduated" and "I had graduated" depends on the context. They mean the exact same thing, but you use the word "had" when you are referring to two different times.
Here is an example: I couldn't start my car because I had lost my keys.
Now in your case, you said "after I graduated high school in Japan, I came to a university in America."
Since you use the word "after," you don't have to use "had" because you are already distinguishing the two different times. There is one small detail in this sentence, however. "I came to a university in America" should be able to be a stand-alone sentence, but this sounds a little awkward. There are two possiblilities:
1) You are out of college now and are doing other things currently. In this case, you could say something like "I attended a university in America."
2) You are still in the same college. In this case, something like "I came to America where I am currently attending a university."
I hope this helps and that I am not confusing you.
