That page doesn't use Japanese, but HTML numeric entities: 科学忍者隊ガッチャ マン You need to find a method of converting Japanese to numeric entities if that's the route you want to take. I have had it happen to me by accident, but for anyone who can read Japanese, it's a complete nightmare to work with, so it's unlikely to be a function in great demand.
