Can't say that I've ever tried to emulate a specific character from anything, anime or otherwise (except dressing up for Halloween and once or twice for legitimate acting). I don't try to act Japanese for the sake of acting Japanese either.
I like Japanese food, but I also like Chinese, Korean, and Indian (not to mention non-Asian foods). I guess I just like food. =) I like anime and manga (and AMVs

), but we're looking at that as a cause rather than an effect here... I don't try to dress or behave Japanese or anything like that.
I've been thinking of trying to learn Japanese and/or taking up Kendo, but I'm afraid that it might just be because I've especially been watching a lot of anime recently. ^_^ I don't want to do it for the wrong reasons. Plus, if I don't do it for the right reasons then it's harder to stick with it.
I've pondered vacationing... and I think China would actually be more interesting to go and vacation and be touristy. But Japan might be better to go and stay a while, like for a whole summer or something. Doesn't matter really, I can't afford to do either!
