Commenting on https://github.com/w3c/i18n-discuss/wiki/Generic-font-families

Maru-Gothic or rounded sans-serif is one of well established and popular typeface categories in Japan. I see ui-rounded in CSS Font 4 but not generic "rounded". I believe the rounded version of sans-serif is pretty generic across different scripts.

Apple's platforms have the rounded sans-serif. However Windows does not have the typeface, the Office has it, i.e. effectively most if not all Windows users in Japan has it.

Simplified and Traditional Chinese also have rounded typefaces, like:

  • Yuanti SC/TC (macOS)
  • SimYou (Windows)
