Unicode is designed to allow round-trip conversion from all national 
standard character sets, including the ones in the Shift_JIS encoding.  
But it requires a look-up table, not a simple algorithm like between 
EUC-JP and ISO-2022-JP.  Also, there are a lot of non-standard Shift_JIS 
encodings.

For details, see Ken Lunde's great book, CJKV Information Processing:
