Try Greig Holbrook at Oban Strategy www.obanmultilingual.com. 01273 704434. They're multi-lingual SEO experts and could easily handle this.
I should declare that we have worked in partnership with them where multi-lingual SEO is required with us doing the English and they are very good at what they do.

Optimize your Japanese site mainly for Yahoo!
Yahoo!’s algorithm takes a more content based approach to the search results. While there is importance placed on incoming links, Yahoo! does not place the same level of importance on links as Google’s algorithm. That is not to say that links are unimportant to Yahoo!. Links are very important. They are simply not weighted as heavily in the search calculations as they are with the Google search results.
Most websites have meta tags in them. While of extremely limited, if any, value to the Google algorithm, meta tags carry some impact in the Yahoo! search placements. Since the meta tags are already in place, they provide some help with your Yahoo! optimization efforts. Be sure that you use only the most important keywords and only for keywords found on the page itself. Limit your meta tags to a maximum of five or six to a page, listing them from most to least important.
Each page should be given a unique title that includes the keywords found within that page’s copy. Yahoo! values page titles highly in its algorithm. As on page content, good page titles are what appears to be Yahoo!’s policy, of rewarding page content heavily.
