Use mojikumi

Mojikumi specifies Japanese text composition for spacing of Japanese characters, roman characters, punctuation,
special characters, line start, line end, and numbers. You can also specify paragraph indents.

The existing character spacing rules in Illustrator follow the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) specification,
JISx4051-1995. You can select from the predefined mojikumi sets provided by Illustrator.

Furthermore, you can create specific mojikumi sets. In a new mojikumi set, you can edit the settings for spacing that
you use a lot, such as the spacing between a period and subsequent opening parenthesis. For example, you might create
an interview format in which you want to have an em dash before a question, and answers enclosed in parentheses.
