Can you use Japanese MTG cards in tournaments?
Absolutely, you can use Japanese MTG cards in tournaments, as long as they're from a legal set for that tournament and you know what the card does. It's pretty common to see players with foreign language cards in their decks, Japanese included. Just be ready to explain what the card does, or have a translation handy, as it's your responsibility to communicate that to your opponent!

100% yes. I've played in several tournaments with Japanese cards in my deck. No one bats an eye as long as the cards are legal for play in that format. Just make sure you're clear on the rules and what each card does because you'll need to explain it if asked.
Yep, you can. Just remember, if your opponent or a judge asks, you gotta explain the card's effect. So, make sure you know what your cards do!
Nope, stick to English. It's easier for everyone.
