Only the epson backend is included in sane-backends. The epkowa backend comes with "Image Scan! for Linux" which is available for download at: http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/index.html The backend should be usable with other frontends as well, but the iscan frontend makes certain assumptions about the backend is it talking to that may not hold for other backends. That is, it only works with the epkowa backend (in all likelihood).
