Many thanks for your comment.
There is a result of a command as below.

#fls -f ntfs jp.dd
r/r 34-128-1:
?,?jp.txt r/r 34-128-4:
?,?jp.txt:stream.txt r/- * 0:
?,?jp.txt

A shell cannot display Japanese character (Unicode).
Therefore we have to use Autopsy and Web browser.
A general browser supports Unicode(UTF-8). IE, Netscape,Opera...

I asked Mr.Takahashi how to display Japanese using a Shell.
But I could not get a good method from him.
Then he wrote a patch of Unicode for me.
I think it is difficult to display a Japanese file name of NTFS
with TASK.
However, I can read in a Web browser if output in UTF-8 or UTF-16
 as a character code of a file name.
And if we use UTF-8 or UTF-16 for output, I suppose not only 
Japanese but any other language can be displayed.
I am not sure that whether other filing systems use Unicode.

Best regards,
