This is similar to the "Shadow Warrior" situation with Mayrana, where a Japanese terminology and concept is being applied to a western (fantasy) setting. I personally don't see an issue either way. One's more accurate to the Japanese archtype, the other is translating for cultural identification. Both can work imo.

Just like not all honorifics translate or translate consistently across all usages.
