Who makes the game is what matters.
Does it matter if it's western game or japanese game?

Japanese, assuming the top level of the hierarchy are Japanese; the game directors and bankrollers are a lot more influential than the actual workforce.
You could have 300 Japanese programmers and designers working for EA, and it would still come out as a generic western game because of the decisions at the top level.

Japanese. That's like a pig giving birth in a stable and not understanding whether or not it's a pig or a horse.
