displaying japanese characters

[Hector Akamine <akamine@example.com>]

I am using Linux Vine 2.0, and have problem displaying japanese fonts in
the console (before loading X)

I tried to run Xconfigurator to change the Xwindows settings, but
because it is a Japanese distribution, everything is translated to
japanese. The bad part is that it shows "garbage" instead of the
japanese characters. 

How can I change the settings in order to be able to show the japanese
characters? 

Thanks in advance
