But the Japanese have(or at least have had) multiple identity crises and western culture obsession phases... that's why so many Anime have European religions(or bastardized versions of an interpretation you can only recognize after looking through the lens of Japanese culture).

Asian cultures probably came up with something similar before we did anyways... hell, Gygax made some of the creatures up based on little plastic monsters from Asia(I believe 2 of these were the Owl Bear and rust monster, though Idr with certainty)
