I believe the plant is an _Acer_ species (Maple) and I am reasonably confident you have a snail or slug that is eating the plant.
Could also be a caterpillar, but holes through the centre of leaves usually indicates snails/slugs. Definitely insect predation.
Have a good look over it, and then give it a horticultural oil treatment.

That looks kinda like a gorgeous tamukeyama red maple?? And mmm I’d check for caterpillars and try to first remove them from the location by hand but also try starting to use insecticides. Make sure to get rid of any ways they could make hokes by picking up fallen leaves and maintaining the space that way as well? Good luck they are gorgeous plants! I wish I had shade to plant one!!!
