The lack of spices in Japanese food suggests Japanese are the white people of Asia
Many old school sushi chefs in Japan will say that the most important ingredient is the rice. In that sense, it doesn't really matter a lot if the topping is vegan, vegetarian, seafood, or meat. It's all just a sideshow for the rice.
