There is a patched version of the dll at
http://www.okisoft.co.jp/esc/utf8-cygwin/
which supports japanese characters. It was decided the technique used for the patch was unsuitable for adoption into the mainline dll; see the thread beginning at
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2006-q2/msg00089.html
and continuing at
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2006-q3/msg00008.html
for the discussion.
cheers,
