Remap Japanese Keys in Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator?

Question

The Japanese keyboard has 5 additional keys. I'm using Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4, and I was able to successfully define my own keyboard layout. The problem is that now the 5 Japanese keys are essentially useless. Is there a way to define these keys using the built-in features of Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator?

Maybe you can do that by directly editing the *.klc file similarly to what is described for example here and here. This page lists things that sound relevant: VK_DBE_KATAKANA, VK_DBE_HIRAGANA — root, Jul 03 '20 at 09:31
@root to my knowledge caps lock modifiers like shift and control and hiragana can’t be modified but I’ll try — William, Jul 03 '20 at 09:37

No not with the GUI but you can assign the keys to duplicate another key on your keyboard using sharp keys.
