If there are "two Japanese NeXTStep versions out there" it is news to
me and NeXus (the Japanese NeXT user group).  Those of us who do
Japanese language processing on a NeXT use kterm under XNeXT for kanji
display, Wnn for Japanese input (using uum and nemacs as user
interfaces), and JTeX for printing kanji text (there's also a package
called kanjips, but the only readily available font for it produces
tiny output).

The last I heard from NeXT, it required an extension to the Display
PostScript language to handle characters that were represented by more
than one byte, and that this extension was *not* in 2.0.  Since most
of us do not have 2.0, who knows when (if?) we will have support for
East Asian languages.
