In order to type 'real' japanese, you should use hiragana and katakana together with kanji. This is Japanese!!! so even if you suggest he should type hiragana, that's not japanese either.
We've been over this before, Hatsuto. Hiragana is japanese. They were adapted from the "man'yoogana" (Hanzi used only for their sound). Many of the original Japanese novels used mostly or entirely hiragana. If you want to write in all Kanji, then you should study Chinese. I might be making a mountain out of a mole hill here, if you meant that using only hiragana isn't real Japanese, then I agree (with regards to the language as it is now).
