Go to settings > reading and make sure that at the bottom of that page under "Encoding for pages and feeds" it says UTF-8 just like that with the uppercase letters, the dash and then the 8.

Remove or comment out this statement in the config.php file:
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

Your Japanese characters will look correct. That's all you need to do. Other alphabets will probably work too.
