ttf-kochi-mincho - Kochi Mincho Japanese TrueType font without naga10
gs-cjk-resource - Resource files for gs-cjk, ghostscript CJK-TrueType
extension.
ttf-kochi-gothic-naga10 - Kochi Gothic Japanese TrueType font with naga10
(non-free)

There is also a free font called Kandata, and afaik OpenOffice also has
some.  The Japanese version of staroffice (Starsuite) has a nice one
called Hg mincho light.

Plus if you search google, it turns up a few pages like this:
