Does there exist a program similar to Locale Emulator for Windows 9x?

you can change the system locale. No emulator needed, no?
 
For games that require win95, i use dosbox i have setup on my WinXp and raspberry pi. There are a few games that don't work, but for the rest, it is pretty solid and don't have to do anything. You might need to find an online video to understand how to run it, but its really simple.
 
No. Locale emulators depend on Windows functions that were only added in XP. I assume you are trying to play Japanese games? If the game does not work on English Win9x, you will need to set up a separate VM running Japanese Windows.

Ah! there you go.

@freebie#47 I don't understand how you can play Win95 games on DOS.

Windows 95 runs on top of DOS. You can install it inside DOSbox, and then install 9x software inside that. An 86box setup like the OP is using will give better compatibility, though, at the cost of infinitely higher system requirements (86box is a "real" emulator, you have to pick out a motherboard and CPU and such and feed it dumps of the relevant firmware, and then your system will emulate it at the hardware level. lots of fun!!!)
