I hear some folks talking about internationalized domain names. From a Western point of view, it would seem like a natural thing for non-romanized cultures to do. For instance, since Japanese is written in Kanji (漢字）, Hiragana (ひらがな） and Katakana (カタカナ）, you'd think that Japanese would prefer to use these in their domains.
Not quite. For one, kanji and kana in general are unfashionable, especially in the "high tech" Intenet. Secondly, by using a kana domain, they'd lose out on all the traffic which is unable to type in the kana.
Just my
of course.
