Please try this:

---- 
export LANG=ja_JP.eucJP
#export LC_CTYPE=C
export LC_COLLATE=C
export LC_MONETARY=C
export LC_NUMERIC=C
export LC_TIME=C
export LC_MESSAGES=C
#export LC_ALL=C
#export LANGUAGE=C
---- 

(But some applications (e.g. Netscape 4) ignore LC_* setting...)

P.S. 

The list `debian-japanese@lists.debian.org' discusses how to use
Japanese on Debian system in English.
