All but a few PH airmen were killed at Midway.
While I don't know how many survived the war, it is not at all true that most perished at Midway. Many died in the six months between Pearl Harbor and Midway. In these six months the Japanese carriers had almost nonstop action, and inevitably, some pilots were killed with every strike. The battle of the Coral Sea in May of 1942 hit the air groups of carriers Shokaku and Zuikaku particularly hard. Furthermore, while all of the Japanese planes at Midway were destroyed, the great bulk went down with their ships, while the pilots were safely evacuated.

LT George Welch and LT Ken Taylor were two pilots who not only survived the attack, they also were successful in fighting back.
Were any downed Japanese airmen captured and taken prisoner at Pearl Harbor?
I don't remember reading that any airmen were taken captive but one of the mini subs was captured on a neighboring island. There is a picture showing the men who piloted the subs in and around Pearl Harbor - all of those men are pictured except the man taken captive. He dishonored the Japanese therefore he lost his position in Japanese history.
