Here is a possible quick solution to what you want.
I have this fragment in my .xinitrc file.

# The two commented out ones below make the system give japanese man
# pages and some apps also have Japanese menu bars
#export LC_ALL=ja_JP
#export LANG=ja_JP.eucJP
#These setting lets me support Japanese but with Eng windows,etc..
export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.eucJP
export LC_MESSAGE=en_US
export XMODIFIERS='@example.com=kinput2'
kinput2 -canna&

Best,
Zev
