Afraid I don't know. I had a look under /etc/X11/xkb/symbols and it seems I
have two japanese keyboards one called jp and one pc/jp. The first has english
letters as regular letters and letters starting kana for the second (third
level I think) keyboardm the other has only the kana version. seems like a
different keymap is chosen depending on what you enter, not sure why.
you could try backing up /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/ja (or jp as it is here) and
copying /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/ja over it and see if that works. If it does then
it gives a direction for further exploring, if not we will have to try
something else (if it works just remember what you did as it will be erased
with the next X upgrade).
