Really? It uses capital-J, small-p? If so you should file a bug report.
That's wrong. According to authoritative sources I've looked up in the

form is ja_JP (2-letter, lowercase language code, underscore, 2-letter,
uppercase country code).

Could be my imagination, but it seems like I've heard things about
over-the-spot input not working with KDE. What happens if you comment
out just that one line?
