Yes, I know. But alternative systems (such as Graffiti) can be found on
alternative OSes for Z.
My question was: Do you know any addon to the Sharp Rom which could
allow such Graffiti input?

Graffiti (sorry, my opinion only!) is good, fast, and reliable... At
least for roman alphabet. Never tried it for japanese input, but I
believe that Zaurus kanji recognition is good.
