Updated version at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTpyYPPRejo or https://furayoshi.com/blog/how-to-type-non-latin-on-linux I searched for so much time to find a proper way to type in Japanese on Linux but no guide has been able to help me... It appeared something almost impossible to me until, test after test, format after format, over time... I found out this method. This is why I found important to make a tutorial about. I truly hope it will help you on accomplishing your needs as much as it has done for mine ＾〰＾ If you have some perk to share, it will be highly appreciated!
