Zipangu is not the "far East". Zipangu is explicitly stated by KC to be off the Western coast of the main continent. That fact, by itselt, at least tells us that he's not using Earth geography. There's also nothing in any of the lore to suggest the monsters live in areas where the mythological versions hail from. Aside from that, a number of the creatures in the MGE are drawn from literature and not from real-world mythology.

So yeah. We know there's a main continent. We know Zipangu is West of it, not East. And that's about all we have to work with. Anything further is pure fan speculation.
