I assume that everything works fine but all you get is mojibake for
the Japanese?  That's what I get anyway.  I assume that the fwhois
distributed with Slackware simply isn't 8-bit clean (or worse); as far
as I can tell the 033's are getting stripped from the JIS escape
sequences.  There are some JIS-fixing utilities around; or you could
even try a simple sed or perl script (I haven't been able to make that 
work).

But I think your best bet would be to see if there's a whois in the JE 
distribution.
