All FreeBSD man pages in Japanese are EUC-encoded. And I want to continue to maintain only EUC-encoded man pages. I do not say that I do not want to support ja_JP.SJIS locale. I think that ja_JP.SJIS locale can be supported by man program even if Japanese man pages are EUC-encoded. -- Kazuo Horikawa
