Perhaps it is easiest to hit M-i?  That should be pretty close to what
you want, except that it goes to a multiple of 8 spaces instead of 4.
But you can change the variable tab-stop-list:

(setq tab-stop-list '(4 8 12 ...))

Please expand the "..." appropriately.  I'm too lazy to do the
arithmetic myself ;-)

But I don't recommend to rely on this.  Emacs supports syntax-driven
indentation which can often be configured to your liking for the
language you're working in.  Syntax-driven indentation is really
useful for catching silly syntax errors such as a missing closing
brace.

I'm not sure if I understand the above paragraph, but I'm trying.

But I haven't seen many Japanese postings, except for Spam perhaps.
