Hi,
things you need to do:
1. install an IM daemon, e.g. ibus or fcitx
2. make sure it autostarts
3. install an input method plugin for Japanese
4. configure the IM daemon to have that plugin active
5. make sure toolkit plugins for the IM daemon are installed (e.g. the qt5 plugin for \
ibus comes bundled with qt, for fcitx it's a separate install) 6. make sure toolkits \
know to load this plugin (e.g. the QT_IM_MODULE variable) 7. add the Input Method \
Panel widget to your panel pt use a different frontend (ibus and fcitx also bundle \
their own ones respectively)
#4 is key, when using a IM daemon the keyboard layout KCM turns useless.

We're working on having IM config in System Settings. There was a GSoC project last \
year and work will hopefully resume soon.
Cheers,
Eike
