Sounds Japanese to me. Gaiden in japanese means tale or anecdote as used in Ninja Gaiden or Fire Emblem Gaiden, and Shinji is a very pretty common name in Japan.

I was suprised that someone with such a Japanese name (and who reminded me of Sun Tzu) was a Altmer and not a Akaviri as a lot of Akavir is based on Asia like the Imperials are based on Romans.
