===HHKB Professional JP<ref>PFU website - [http://www.pfu.fujitsu.com/news/2008/new081110.html Press release: HHKB Professional JP (Japanese only)]</ref>===
The JP layout uses the layout that is known as JIS (short for Japan Industrial Standard). The layout does not follow what Dr. Wada had originally with the Pro series as in specifically to do with the inverted trapezoid layout. However one thing that shares the common similarities with Professional versus Professional JP is the lack of USB hub as featured on Professional 2 series.

JIS layout adds extra keys which are not normally found on the Professional/Professional 2 series. These keys are mainly specific for inputting Japanese characters such as henkan, muhenkan, kana, etc. Along with the Professional JP re-introduces the arrow keys that are not available as a dedicated key on the Professional/Professional 2 series. It also adds extra few keys that are not found on ANSI variant such as right Control key for instance.

The JP layout is available as a 69 keys variant as opposed to the 60 keys variant found on the ANSI variant. Only very few key caps are cross compatible (modifier-wise). Also for the JP layout comes the lack of option for unlegended keys.<ref>PFU website - [http://www.pfu.fujitsu.com/hhkeyboard/hhkbprojp/ Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional JP (Japanese only)]</ref>
