Japanized
Given Japanese style
Japanized describes something adapted to Japanese style, culture, or sensibilities.
A Japanized version of a Western product might feature different flavors, packaging, or design elements suited to Japanese tastes.
The term can also describe foreign words absorbed into Japanese: The Japanized pronunciation of "baseball" is "bēsubōru".
Sometimes used critically to suggest superficial or stereotypical adaptation.
