You're prompt will reference whatever the hostname is doesn't it? I'm
located in Tokyo, I haven't setup any servers with Japanese hostnames
actually, but on occasion some filenames are written in Japanese. What is
it you wanted to see exactly? It also depends on the keyboard setup you
have set to the default. Most people in Japan set the keyboard to a US
style - where they enter romaji, and don't usually enter the kana from the
different keyboard layout. So, you type the roman characters ra for example
to make ら, but there is a Japanese keyboard layout where you can type the ら
character directly - but I never really see that used.
So, as far as I know, you'll be using whatever input methods you actually
have on your local system where you're ssh'ing from. So, if you needed to
write Japanese input you'd need some local IME on your particular system.
