However last time I tried (years ago by now, I'm sure) the KEPUB converter couldn't handle Japanese particularly well either so I just ... did it myself by adding an empty <span class="koboSpan" id="kobo.123.1"></span> with incrementing numbers at the start of each paragraph.

With that you can go in and out of the book and not be kicked back to the start of the entire book or the current chapter you're reading; it starts you right at the very same page you left it as it should.
Nah, it remembers locations fine. It always opens to the same spot I left it in. There's just literally no page numbers for any book in Japanese. It's always percent. But again the apps have page numbers which makes it even weirder. Doesn't matter if you sideload KEPUBs or download them straight from Kobo you get no page numbers.
