There are Japanese packages for polyglossia (the successor of babel

I looked at this again today, as I am currently helping the folks who
are preparing the new Ubuntu Manual in several languages with the help
of xelatex and polyglossia. A few hours ago I received from them new
gloss-*.ldf files for Bengali, Telugu, Marathi and Japanese!
Two more elaborate polyglossia modules for Japanese are available at

I have also found a discussion of Japanese typesetting with xelatex at
http://kuniyoshi.fastmail.fm/xetex/ where an alternative package
genzi.sty is also presented. Nobody has ever contacted me about
including CJK in polyglossia. I would not have the competence to
actively maintain the modules for these languages, but if someone is
willing to do it and provide active support, I would happily include it
in the bundle.
