I think the problem is that the default font for Japanese chosen by
Emacs is not Japanese font.
Because even if I type `C-u C-x =' on "ゲ" on my Windows 7 box with
emacs -Q, Emacs says,

|        character: ゲ (12466, #o30262, #x30b2)
|preferred charset: japanese-jisx0208
|		   (JISX0208.1983/1990 Japanese Kanji: ISO-IR-87)
|       code point: 0x2532
|           syntax: w 	which means: word
|         category:
|		   .:Base, K:2-byte Katakana, c:Chinese, h:Korean, j:Japanese, |:line breakable
|      buffer code: #xE3 #x82 #xB2
|        file code: #x83 #x51 (encoded by coding system japanese-shift-jis-dos)
|          display: by this font (glyph code)

|  decomposition: (12465 12441) ('ケ' '゙')

BatangChe is the font designed for Korean.
"MS Gothic" is the suitable default font for Japanese Windows, IMO.
