I've got LC_ALL="it_IT.utf8" Forcing LC_ALL="C.utf8" gives the same output. With LC_ALL="C" I get escape codes instead of characters.
One of the Japanese ones. Not really something we should be fixing. http://kakasi.namazu.org/
in CVS there's a perfectly readable english man page: http://cvs.namazu.org/kakasi/man/kakasi.1?rev=1.1&view=markup I suggest you to provide a CVS version of the package.
