Unix boxes and Macs are more popular than in the West, since
both have handled the extended character sets for some years.
The languages favour C in commercial apps development, and
research (I don't know about teaching). All the usual compilers
are available, with some strange data entry & database products.

FWIW There is even a Japanese port of the old Logitech M2 and
the US version JPI M2 works quite well under Japanese OS too.
