The JIS, or Japanese Industrial Standard, keyboard layout keeps the Roman letters in the English QWERTY layout, with numbers above them. Many of the non- alphanumeric symbols are the same as on English-language keyboards, but some symbols are located in other places.
Language input keys, which are usually found on Japanese and Korean keyboards, are keys designed to translate letters using an input method editor (IME).

While bit-paired layouts have generally given way to typewriter layouts, the Japanese keyboard layout still uses one.

In Japan, the Agency of Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) standardized it as the 6-bit character codes of JIS C 0803-1961 (Keyboard layout and codes for teleprinters), which combined with katakana characters. However, it didn't match the industry requirements because the character map was small, and the code layout was impractical.
SKY (Japanese: スカイ配列, Hepburn: Sukai hairetsu) is a Latin alphabet keyboard layout for typing Japanese developed in 1987.
