Have never seen cheese in any Japanese or Chinese dishes. What gives???
90-100% of East Asian adult people are lactose intolerant, and cheese were originated from Europe so maybe historically cheese was never used in traditional Japanese and Chinese cuisine.
Some modern Japanese/Chinese cuisine do add cheese in their new recipe. Modern Korean cuisine also add cheese in their ingredients. Maybe they're influenced by Western fast food restaurants that serve pizzas, burgers, pasta, etc.

Once such cuisine in China is that of the Yunnan province. In Yunnan, dairy ingredients have become a notable part of the dishes, along with many other components and flavors that outsiders wouldn’t normally think of as typical Chinese fare.
One of the features of Yunnan cuisine is a goat’s cheese usually transliterated as rubing (which means “milk cake”). Rubing is most often served lightly fried (or sometimes steamed) and sliced along with Yunnan ham.
