It won't
ruin your chances, but it will still make it more difficult for you to get a job teaching English. Schools and companies in Japan often prefer hiring people who are from a country where the native language is English. You'll probably have to go out of your way to convince an employer that you can teach English even though it's not your first language -- learning how to speak in a British or American accent is probably one way to boost your chances.
