Thank you for your reply.

I don't mean to input Japanese characters(like 'あ') printed on Japanese keyboard, but to input some latin characters with Japanese keyboard.

Japanese keyboard has different layout from us one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Japanese

For example, '@' locates on the right side of 'P' on Japanese keyboard, but '[' locates at the same place on US keyboard.

I selected "Germany" in ubiquity step 3, type 'z' and 'y' appeared. This seems to be correct. Germany keyboard has 'y' on the left of 'x'.
But I switched to "Japan", type '@' and '[' occured. This causes that they can't type some latin caracters with Japanese keyboard on live session. For instance, they can't type '_'(under score) for their hostname.
