Why locale doesn't print out XMODIFIERS, I don't know,
but to get Japanese input under X you may need to set
LANG=ja_JP (I think just LC_CTYPE=ja_JP should be
enough) and you must set XMODIFIERS="@im=anthy"
(or whatever @im setting gives you your IM of choice).

If that doesn't get you much closer to what you're looking for,
you may need to go to an Ubuntu expert.
