Can Windows 98 English version support Japanese keyboard layout ? If no, can I copy the .kbd file that is currently using now (my Windows 95 is install by other company) ?

Yes Win98 english can support the keyboard layout but not the Japenese text. Some of the things like : / ect... are in different locations. all you have to do is find the locations of the missplaced : / and so forth. But you can use the Japenese Keyboard on an english system. Some of the keys do not have a function in english! I'm a tech on Okinawa Japan and I use Japenese keyboards everyday on english systems.

You mean I can download the Japanese keyboard layout driver or mapping file from Microsoft ?

It may only be possible if you install the Japanese version of WIN98
