"It looks exactly like the Lewis Machine gun....."

The Type 92 7.7mm LMG is in fact a slightly modified Japanese copy of the Lewis Gun. It's even chambered for an exact Japanese copy of the .303 British cartridge. I believe the IJN purchased actual British-made Lewis guns in the 20s and later developed the Type 92 from them.
