I face the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I tried CJKOS. It currently takes 194k of memory in my Palm V with the
fonts. There doesn't seem to be an input method for Japanese however.

It displays Japanese just great. Better than the Japanese addon for US
Outlook in fact.I use WinNT.
