Answers:
As Desi Chef mention already (for more detail visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/omurice),... Omurice are Japanese.
But do keep in mind in Japan we made our omelette different then America. Even the word omelette itself can mean a western omelette or omuraisu. Okonomiyaki may also consider as "Japanese omelette" in some western country.
Now back to omelette, we usually made our omelette using a specially made Round/Rectangular shaped Japanese egg omelette pan. And we use a round pan for the rice.
Omurice Recipe: (assume you have the pan), yeild one serving
1/6 cup warm water,
1/2 tsp. Hondashi,
3 eggs,
1.5 Tbsp. sugar,
1/2 Tbsp. sweet cooking sake
1 Tbap, soy sauce
1 cup fried rice of your choice mix in with 4 tbsps ketchup
Beat 3 eggs in a bowl. Add 1.5 tsp of sugar, 1/2 tbsps of dashi soup stock, 1 tsps of soy sauce and 1/2 tbsps of cooking sake into the bowl and mix well.
Heat 1 tsp of vegetable oil in an omelet pan. Turn down the heat and pour 1/3 of the egg mixture in the pan. Spread the egg evenly over the pan and make a thin, large, and round omelette. Place fried rice in the middle of the omelette and gentlely tap your hand so that the omelette start folding toword you, keep doing until the omelette cover the rice and fold completly. (Or you can simply fold the omelette).
Cover the frying pan with a plate and turn them over to place the omerice in the plate. Put some more ketchup on top of omurice before serving
