Sara,
As far as I have been able to observe, Japanese patent applications that
go the PCT route are pulled out of the JPO office process until they are
resubmitted as part of the Japanese domestic phase of the PCT process.
When they are pulled out, only the original filing number remains. (I
am sure that there are some internal processes for tracking them.) If
the applicant does not submit for the domestic phase, there will be no
Japanese equivalent.
If there are multiple Japanese priority applications for a PCT, you may
be able to find equivalent publications for the second and later
filings, but not for the first.
Perhaps someone from Patolis will add some light on Monday.

Does anyone know why a Pluspat record (data presumably from INPADOC)
includes information about entry of a PCT application into Japan, along
with the Japanese application number, etc., while the corresponding WPI
record has no Japanese family member?
It's old enough that I don't think it's just a matter of timing, and
this has happened to me once or twice before. I'm concerned that there
may be Japanese equivalents missing from WPI.
