Would Japan adopt British-style night flying?

Would the Imperial Japanese Navy train carrier pilots for night operations on the British model?

Probably not, because night flying consumes pilots at a rate Japan's elite-focused training system is unlikely to accept.

British willingness to accept night-flying losses is linked to the experience of Jutland and the wish to avoid another enemy escape under darkness. Such training could kill pilots through accidents before they ever faced the enemy. Japan's system favoured a smaller elite of highly trained aviators and is judged less likely to accept that attrition in peacetime. The difference concerns training priorities and replacement capacity, rather than a simple claim about aircraft quality.
