1. Go to start -> Control Panel.
2. Go to "Regional and Language options"
3. Go to the "Languages" tab and check the "Install files for East Asian languages" box. I think you need to reset your computer for the changes to take place.
4. To take it a step further, and to type in Japanese, go to the "details" button located on the same languages tab
5. Click on "add"
6. Choose Japanese as your input language
7. There should be an "EN" at the lower right hand corner of your computer. Press "show language bar"
8. Open your text processing program or the Internet and type using the romaji pronunciation of the Japanese word. It is straightforward enough. For example, to get the character 団, type "dan" then press space until you find the corresponding kanji. Or press enter if you want it to remain in hiragana だん.
Have fun with Japanese characters!!!
