Ahh Logan/Wolverine's big thing for quite a while was being a western Ronin and it was played up that Charles was his Shogun and the Academy equaled his clan. It was tied in some with spaghetti westerns and samurai all transposed to the east coast...

Let me sum up up this way. Jackman is pretty and all. But My Logan will always be Clint Eastwood. Preferably from the days of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.

That said, a character that's all about Japanese exceptionalism is not best represented by Jackman or Eastwood or Leo di Fricking Caprio.
