You don't have the LANG set properly here.

Kinput2 is not running.

Should be LANG=ja_JP.EUC or something along these lines.

As Stephen mentioned, kterm is too new...

There aren't that many packages you need to just use kterm.
You'll need canna (watch out on this, as the rpm's of the
past did not install this properly, and trying to build
apps like pine-jp were a pain), kinput2 and some other fonts
if you like fiddling with them. Just start your cannaserver
from /etc/rc.d/init.d and then fire up kinput2 -canna, and
it works pretty much out of the box then in kterm. Trying
to read up on locale will get you not much more than a good
headache...
