No Japanese Keyboard

In other Xperia phone, under Setting->Language & Input, there is Xperia Japanese Keyboard. But in M4 Aqua, only have Xperia International Keyboard and Xperia Chinese Keyboard. Isn't the Xperia Japanese Keyboard a default feature? How to add in?

Hi PeterLow, welcome to the community!

The keyboards included with the handset are determined by the region the handset was manufactured for, there is always the option to download a third party Japanese keybaord from ther Play Store.

But other devices like Z2, Z all have default Xperia Japanese keyboard installed. The devices are bought from Sony Store Singapore, only M4 Aqua doesn't have the keyboard.

Playstore doesn't have the Xperia Japanese keyboard, and the google japanese keyboard is not as nice to use as the Xperia Japanese keyboard.

I used to have International and Chinese keyboard. Now it's changed to just Chinese, although I can change the input language. Keyboard skins have gone. I don't even see an option to change it.
Dont know how this happened.
Sony M4 Aqua.

I mean, it's almost like the two are now combined.

Fixed it. My language was set on South African Englishand for some unfathomable reason, the international keyboard is not available, then. I switched to UK English and now I can choose which keyboard to use and heeeyyu, I can even change the skins.
Please fix this on the next update.
