The location setting on the profile can be wherever the user wants to be, even Antarctica.

Maybe they like Japanese culture...?

And?
Since anyone can set it to anything, and some games may have individuals more likely to be from somewhere, or playing certain types of games, this seems possible. Regardless of them actually living there or not, for the areas I visit and the accounts I look at, almost none are set to Japan. Your experience may reflect the areas you browse in the community.

If you went into the french section, you'd not likely see very many from or set to japan. Similar to the russian and german section.

that is very true in steam I have hard time talking to someone in japanese since I don't know if the person I am talking to is even belong to japan

To play certain Japanese games you need to have Japan as your location. This might well be why?

You can not bypass any regional restrictions by changing the location/flag on your Steam profile.

They probably just like anime or arent proud of their country

How come every 3rd account in steam has the location of japan

Asks someone who presents its own identity purely through anime images and character name ヒンメル from 葬送のフリーレン, but does not appear to be Japanese, too. That has an unintentionally ironic punchline...

Weebs.

This, lol. Though they could also just remove their country from their profile entirely if they wanted (like I did awhile back).

Mine is not even visible. It is not that I hide it... I simply never entered one.

Mostly because that's completely irrelevant and none of your business.
