with kinput2 you need to put the following into your .Xdefaults and
shift+kanji will put kinput2 into Japanese conversion mode.

! *inputMethod: kinput2
*conversionStartKeys:   Shift<Key>Kanji
*xlcConversionStartKey: Shift<Key>Kanji

I'm using a custom xmodmap file (attached) and input accented letters with
"right alt + key", i.e.  right alt + o will give an o' 
You'll have to tweak the xmodmap file for German though, because mine is
for Hungarian. 

There is another method using compose sequences:
execute:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 109 = Multi_key'
press once right control, then `s' twice, will give you a scharfesS.
Beware, because this doesn't work with gtk input modules and requires more
keypresses. 
I recommend xmodmap.
