Not quite sure from your question if you know how to input Japanese in
RedHat.  If you do, then please pardon this.  (Just that you've made no
mention of kinput and kterm, so, I'm going to guess that you lack
experience with it.)

Let me start by suggesting my own page at
http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/jpninpt.html

See if any of the suggestions there help. You may have to set LC_CTYPE,
start kinput2 etc.  Again, not sure how much of this you already know,
but it's explained fairly clearly (I hope) on the abovementioned page.

HTH a bit

Riley: Way I heard it. You were all peaceable now. You didn't by
any chance go and lose that pesky soul again, did you? 
Angel: Don't push me, boy. 
Riley: Now what possibly could've happened with Buffy that would 
make you lose your soul? 
Angel: That'd be between me and her. 
Riley: Where do you think you're going? 
Angel: Going to see an old girlfriend.
