Japanese has a transliteration to Roman script, but it suffers from
ambiguity that typically isn't present in the native written forms of
the words (i.e. there are different characters in Kanji which are
pronounced the same way, and spelt the same way in hiragana - and it is
only the hiragana syllabary which can be mapped to roman characters).
Cheers,
Nick.
