You are ...

The letter Y.

I have 2 arms, and 1 leg.

Describes the letter.

Without me, you must be a woman.

Chromosomes - XY is male, XX (without a Y) is female

Man with 2 flags call me U.


A man making a "Y" with their body and two flags is giving the semaphore signal for U.
(Thanks @Eric Tressler in TSL for the brain jog.)

With an equal mark, every Japanese love me.

The letter Y with an equal sign superimposed on it is ¥, the symbol used for Japanese yen (which of course people would love).
