Japanese has 3 main writing systems.
1. 漢字 -
Kanji
2. ひらがな -
Hiragana
3. カタカナ -
Katakana
ローマ字 - Romaji, is just the Japanese name for the alphabet or
"Roman characters".
Proper Japanese would incorporate all three, Kanji and Hiragana for Japanese words, and Katakana for loan words (words taken from other languages).

Sorry, I'm not sure what you meant here, can you explain a bit more?
