The so called 'FireOS' used on Kindles is a lot less customizable than
stock Android. You cannot install a new input method/keyboard, change
the launcher or install a browser from the app store. That's presumably
to make it easier to use...

If you are lucky a Bluetooth keyboard would work with the built-in
Japanese IME, if not, not many options if you don't want to root the
device.
