At first you need to add a locale to /etc/locale.gen that supports
japanese characters (e.g. ja_JP.UTF-8). (Don't forget to run locale-gen
after modifying that file) Of course you also need to install the
relevant fonts in order to display japanese characters.
Then, you usually need to set XMODIFIERS to "@im=kinput2" and at least
LC_CTYPE to a japanese locale *before* starting the application. You may
want to do this when starting the X server. You may also add
"*inputMethod: kinput2" to your X resources file - some applications are
also using this.
Some applications (such as mlterm) also allow you to change/set up that
information dynamically at run time (press Ctrl-MBtn-3 in mlterm).
If you started the application, you should press Shift+Space and a
window should popup stating that you now may input japanese characters.
Also have a look at http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/suse-cjk.html
which is a very good guide for CJK support under linux IMHO.
