I live in Japan and work in both English and Japanese. To that end I use both Western and Japanese fonts. The Japanese fonts typically have names written in Japanese. When I look in my Font Book, however, all the names are written in roman letters. There are no "international" font names at all.

On my (Catallina) machine. all Japanese fonts have Latin names in Font Book. Apple's primary Japanese font is listed as Hiragino. If you do View > Show Font Info, you will see it's file name shown as ヒラギノ角ゴシック
Did you try scrolling down to the bottom? That is not a system font. The built-in fonts are a bit strange that the actual file name is in Japanese but the font name is in English. Perhaps in your fonts, the font name is in Japanese too. They might be at the bottom of the list.
I have created a file in Adobe Illustrator using a font that Illustrator shows as available but Font Book does not. Now I need to send that font to a 3rd party so they can use the AI file I made. I had hoped to export the font via Font Book. If that is not possible, where will I find the font called Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro (ヒラギノ角ゴPro?
I could not find those fonts using the mac search function (Sherlock) no matter what volume I searched, but was able to find them using the 3rd party app called "Find Any File" so now I have located the proper hiragino fonts.
As in the attached screenshot of Find Any File, the TTS font files were in System > Library > Fonts. There are also associated ATSD files in System > Library > Frameworks > ............ Not sure what these are for. I think the TTS files are all I need to send to a 3rd party to use in AI.
