Weren’t the imperials originally supposed to be heavily Japanese inspired, instead of roman?

So there's bigger TES heads on the site, but from what I understand no

The Empire in TES goes through three iterations: The Nedes' First Empire, The Akiviri Second Empire, and The Cyrodiilic Third Empire.

The Japanese-coded guys were the Akiviri, The Imperials (Cyrodiilic) were subjects to the Akivir Potentate until it collapses and they build the third empire out of those ruins.

i don't think so. the bodyguard blades guys are samurai for esoteric lore reasons, and before oblivion part of the province was supposed to be rain-forest, but from their appearance in Redguard they've been mostly latin-named and roman-esque
