Late to the party -- sorry for that.

Knoppix does have a Japanese edition:

http://unit.aist.go.jp/it/knoppix/

You just download it, burn it onto a CD, pop it into your CD drive and 
boot up. The beauty of Knoppix is that it has pretty good hardware 
auto-detection, although it may sometimes fail to pick up some of the 
less usual devices.

The English edition should be able to do Japanese straight out of the 
box as well, although I haven't tried it yet and the Japanese edition 
may be the safer bet anyway. The distro comes with the latest version of 
KDE, which has a "Control Center" that lets you pick interface languages.

Knoppix also has a very easy installer that allows you to install the 
system on your hard disk, either as a straight install or a dual boot in 
case you wish to hang on to a Windows install on the same box, for 
example. If you install it on your hard disk, it basically becomes Debian.
