You need to set Japanese locale to use XIM.
kinput2 supports not only XIM protocol but also Kinput2 protocol.
yudit supports Kinput2 protocol only. kterm supports both of
XIM and Kinput2 protocols. Thus, the reason why you can use
yudit and kterm with kinput2 is that they use Kinput2 protocol,
not XIM protocol. IMO, Kinput2 protocol is obsolete because it
is Japanese-only protocol.
There is a new multilingual inputting protocol IIIMF

but I don't know what this is.

I imagine this is because XFree86 does not have good UTF-8 support yet.
If you need Japanese, please use ja_JP.eucJP locale. Use iconv to
convert the text from EUC-JP to UTF-8.
