None of the locales you did set in /etc/locale.gen is on the list of
locales which kterm tries. Put ja_JP.eucJP as well in /etc/locale.gen.
I think you don't need ja_JP.EUC-JP, that is an obsolete spelling
variant.

There are 2 app-defaults files for kterm:

    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/KTerm
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ja/app-defaults/KTerm

Japanese menus are coming from the KTerm app-defaults file in the 'ja'
directory. Make a copy of the English version to you home directory:

    ~$ cp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/KTerm ~/.KTerm

and add the following line to you ~/.Xresources:

    #include ".KTerm"

Or, if you want to change it globally, you may remove the global
Japanese app-defaults file.
