Which font new Japanese text uses
First the font your PDF already uses for Japanese, even when only a few of its letters are embedded: MythosPDF loads the complete font and sets new letters in it. If the PDF has no Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana font at all, it asks before adding an open Noto font for those letters, and tells you it did.

Questions people ask
+Can I edit equations?
Equations are drawn from many small pieces and are best changed in the source document.
+Can I make the file smaller for submission portals?
Yes. Compress PDF shrinks images and keeps text sharp.
+Can I write parts of the research paper in Japanese and parts in English?
Yes. Each language is set in the font the PDF uses for it, so a bilingual research paper keeps both fonts.
