Your claim is correct only between 1985 and 1995. Since 1995, Japan's economy has stagnated but UK's has grown significantly.

Looking at these numbers, UK has also been stagnating since ca 2005. Comparing between 1980 and 2015, both had about the same growth in GDP per capita, and about the same absolute numbers. Only Japan did the bulk of it's growing earlier in that time span, and the UK later.

Looking at your chart, rb808's claim is correct even as of the latest numbers. UK at $39720 and Japan at $38428 is "virtually identical".
