No. Japanese characters, Hiragana and Katakana and Kanji, don't
have uppercase/lowercase.
Moreover, there is no space between words in Japanese sentences.
So it may looks like 'CAMELCASEANDUNDERSCORE_STYLE' :-)

But we use many characters, about 50 Hiragana and 50 Katakana
and thousands of Kanji. Mixing Hiragana and Kanji (and
punctuation mark) help to parse Japanese sentenses.
