Why is the Garage description for the Matrix Paint in Japanese?

From the Matrix Digital Rain wikipedia article:

Quote

In the film, the code that comprises the Matrix itself is frequently represented as downward-flowing green characters. This code uses a custom typeface designed by Simon Whiteley,[1] which includes mirror images of half-width kana characters and Western Latin letters and numerals.[2] In a 2017 interview at CNET, he attributed the design to his wife, who comes from Japan, and added, "I like to tell everybody that The Matrix's code is made out of Japanese sushi recipes".[3] The effect resembles that of the older green screen displays, since the letters leave a fluorescent trace on the screen.[4]
