* ''VideoGame/RedAlert3'': Gleefully embraced by the Imperial Japanese faction, having the tech to produce HumonguousMecha, nanobots, clones, psychics, and infantry-scale lasers and jetpacks, but the culture is a WW2 level of fanatism (said laser-equipped infantry still use banzai charges, tank drivers consider themselves samurai, the basic submarine can pull off a kamikaze move) with the Emperor believing himself a living god, and of course some things don't change ({{ninja}}, young women in schoolgirl uniforms).

Mostly, the only part of Japan that is ever shown is [[TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse Tokyo]], or a city that just happens to look exactly like Westerners imagine Tokyo looks like. Otherwise, it'll be some generic FarEast place. Pop culture is composed entirely of [[WidgetSeries Weird Japanese Things]].
