Does this mean it worked before?  AFAIK the kernel neither knows
nor cares about stuff like Japanese input or display.  It's not into
language environments, so that *shouldn't* have made any difference.
But did you change anything else around that time?  Upgrade anything?

If you boot your old kernel (keeping those around for a while
is always a good idea) does it fix it?  I would think not, but
hey, surprise me :-)
