There were Japanese-localized versions early on. I talked to a guy from DEC Japan several years ago who claimed they had localized something like FM 1.3 into Japanese on some DEC hardware.

The first commercial J releases were JFM 2.1 and later JFM3. JFM 2.1 was the higher-functionality version, with JFM3 a completely separate port done by a different company. Both versions were Unix-only.

There was minimal Japanese support in FM4 on Mac through ScriptManager. The first internal Japanese-localized version was 5.2J on Mac, which was FM 5.1 with a J UI and a few dozen J-specific bug fixes.

FM 5.5 was the first internally-developed fully functional J version on all platforms.
