Appearance
Japan Empire is often presented in a bloody khaki shirt with written in collar and sometimes on her/his right shoulder there is a band showing the flag of present-day Japan. They also wear green trousers and usually shown with a pitch-black belt on their waist, olive green woolen putties, grubby boots, and Japanese more solid hat & flap neck cover cap. Unlike Japan, they don't have cat ears and tails. However, people may show them with the nekomi appearance, similar to Japan themselves.

Personality
Like the German Empire, the Japanese Empire is represented as a tragic character. From being one of the powers most determined to modernize East Asia to become an evil one. Sometimes extremely violent and aggressive. They'll do anything just to get their goal. JE occurs to be vulgar, but they're still honorable, they make all the plans with reason and detailed consideration, although sometimes it might seem like they're crazy. Even more than slightly insane. They are extremely self-confident in their actions. Surrendering to anyone is one of the worst things that they can do to themselves considering that's was looked down upon greatly. They act all innocent and sweet but in reality, they are a psychopath and no other way around it.
