OK, I confess I know next to nothing about Macs and less about OS X, but
given that nobody else has replied, let's try some standard-ish Unix stuff
to see if that helps...

(0) Try the following commands and see what they display:

  locale -a
  locale charmap

(1) Try setting the variable "LANG" to one of the locales listed by
    "locale -a" - for example, among the options on my Linux system
    are: ja_JP, ja_JP.eucjp, ja_JP.ujis, ja_JP.utf8

(2) I assume the Japanese characters are displayed fine when you type
    "ls"... if so, find out how the names are being encoded as follows:
    ls <filename> | od -tx1

While the above may not solve the problem, they may provide some clues as
to what might be needed...
