The Japanese input method has changed on my Mac. The traditional way on OSX and Windows is:
- type hiragana for the word;
- press space bar;
- use arrow keys to select (kanji + okurigana);
- press enter.
Somehow, (95% sure this because of El Capitan) my input method has become:
- start typing hiragana;
- while still typing hiragana, it continues to take heuristic guesses at the (kanji + okurigana) that I might want. This approach makes most sense on mobile phones, but I don't want to do this on my MacBook!
- pressing
esc
reverts the guessed (kanji + okurigana) back to only hiragana (what I want), but then type another hiragana, and it starts to guess again… this is driving me crazy.
What language settings do I need to adjust so that I can input Japanese as I always have?

That is indeed a new feature for El Capitan:
You can disable Live Conversion under
System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources > Japanese
, or the shortcut in the Input Menu Item by clickingOpen Japanese Preferences
