In XEmacs (and presumably Mule-enabled FSFmacs), use M-X canna-touroku
or M-X canna-touroku-region.  This function should be bound to a
function key in kterm, too, but I don't know which one (F7 or F8 at a
guess).

This is best handled by typing like a Japanese, "watashiHA" SPC RET,
"nakanodesu." SPC RET, instead like a gaijin, "watashi" SPC RET
"HAnakano" SPC C-g C-i C-i C-i RET "desu." RET  :-)

But let me know if your method works for you.
