debian+phosh running on PinePhone

The best free engine for linux that can do this is mozc, but that has to be wired up to the OSK.

I tried this: installed ibus-mozc, japanese locale and some fonts but no luck getting squeekboard to type non-english characters.

I got it running!

apt install fcitx-mozc

then make sure to enable the terminal keyboard (so you will be able to navigate blindly lately)

open fcitx-config, change the language switching hotkey to something (I chose "End", just to test)
the go to the keyboards tab an add mozc with the + button.

The menu that pops up has to be navigated blindly, there is a checkbox which you wont see just above the search input field, you have to uncheck this blindly (click search field, the type cursor up and enter via terminal keyboad), then focus the search field again, type mozc i(you wont see the search result because display is to small and "mozc" string is only 4 character), press tab twice to the invisible OK button, then press enter.

Now you can input japanese with any keyboard and switch with "End" (or other key you chose)
