It's kind of strange to me to characterize it as "Western" versus "Eastern", to be honest. I mean, "the West" brought to you the likes of NSync, Backstreet Boys, Justin Bieber, boy bands in general, many entertainers who capitalize on an adrogynous look, Orlando Bloom, young Leonardo DiCaprio, Blood Elves, Tolkein elves, what much of modern vampires have become, the original versions of Greek gods, Edward Cullen, and... probably a lot more, but I suck at recalling the kinds of name details I'd need to google them all up.
And in the East? Well, take a look at most Shounen manga/anime from Japan. That "bara" stuff, too. The heroes in Chinese action movies. Probably more, but I'm not really knowledgable enough on the details to speak in more than those broad strokes.
So... er, yeah. Sorry, the constant harping on "Eastern vs Western" as though it's some sort of Berlin Wall of aesthetic preferences is really getting to me. XD

"Song dogs barking at the break of dawn, lightning pushes the edges of a thunderstorm; and these streets, quiet as a sleeping army, send their battered dreams to heaven."
