Microsoft word have a big share in Japanese wordprocessing softwares. Sometimes \"Ichitaro\" can be used.

Basically, Japanese people use same products but they buy Japanese version.

However, you can use English version of Word to input Japanese. I don\'t think there are a lot of missing capability compared to Japanese version especially if you are using Windows XP.
