You can do that with CJK-LaTeX and you have to select Japanese fonts.

In CJK-LaTeX you can write your example like this

    \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
    \usepackage{CJK}
    \usepackage[overlap, CJK]{ruby}

    \begin{document}

    \begin{CJK}{UTF8}{koti}  % <-- selects the font and the encoding.

    \title{Test}
    \maketitle

    \section{first}
    あ い う え お

    \end{CJK}

    \end{document}

Which fonts you can select depends on your setup.

In case you are using SuSE Linux you can use my packages which are
already included in SuSE Linux. The latest updates are usually here
