Dear Alex,
It goes without saying that you're more likely to find answers to
these questions written in Japanese than in English :-)
I haven't tried this myself but the following page offers basic
advice about Japanese in bibtex:

As far as sorting names is concerned, as with any other database of
Japanese personal names, you create a field with the kana version of
the name and sort on that.
As regards the order of name/surname, they enter names in the
following format:
奥野 正寛 and 鈴村 興太郎
So no automatic ordering of name/surname takes place.
