Many of the questions you pose are already answered in the dupe; namely, we as westerners see "style", Japanese only care about the loanword.

Two things:  this is a Q&A site, not a forum; questions and answers are still relevant to this day, and second, there's not much to *argue* since we do feel that it's been concisely answered.

What is "100% authentic Japanese style"?... [this is Hatsune Miku by a random Japanese artist](https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=63809376) and [this is another Hatsune Miku by another random Japanese artist](https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=63803594). On the other hand, [this is Hatsune Miku by a random Russian](http://dav-19.deviantart.com/art/Miku-Append-213114328) and [this is another Hatsune Miku by a random Malaysian](http://crazy-megame.deviantart.com/art/chibi-miku-192135466).

if that's what you mean by authentic well then of course everyone can learn how to draw like that, see these fanart made by Korean https://www.pixivision.net/en/a/2421

@Darjeeling but would it require work hard to do it like that?
