I play fictional leagues... no Japanese leagues at all... real or fictional.
Will I have a problem when I convert my fictional leagues to OOTP23?
I always wait until the final patch comes out before I convert my leagues.
I have a league that I have been playing for 18 real years... I don't want this league damaged.
Would appreciate your help and advice.

In addition to agreeing with what Rain King has said here,
keep in mind the act of importing your game to v23 (or any import to a newer version) does nothing to your v22 "old save". After import to v23 it (your v22 save) will still be there, in the v22 saved games folder, in the same state as before. Having said that I still always do a backup before running the import to a new version. I've never needed it and probably never will but, one can never be too careful.
FWIW my on-going game had no issues with the new patch that came mid-season. My game is MLB, MiLB, OOTP created draft classes, and foreign posted players (that include Japanese fictional players). It was started in v4 with a real player mod. Through attrition it has morphed into an all fictional game as far as players go. The Japanese players in my league are still Japanese, on their appropriate MLB of MiLB teams, with their names unchanged.
I do still have "real life players" that moved onto being managers and coaches from that 2002 start. The patch had no effect on them.
Back to your original point of whether or not you will have any issues after import.
Easiest thing to do will be to import and look the league over. You can filter and search by nationality and immediately see if your Japanese fictional players have been affected. I think(?) the only way that could happen would be if they happened to have a "real Japanese player's name" and even then I don't think there will be a scramble as long as none of your leagues use "redacted league's" real team cities and names. From what you have said they don't so, you should be good to go.
