It seems that multibyte mode is disabled for some unknown reason and
multibyte characters in tex-jp.el are treated as sequences of raw bytes.

On my windows 10 home edition, installing from elpa works without such
error.  Could you provide the output of M-x TeX-submit-bug-report?

I suspect that there is some problem in your installation of TeX
distribution.  Speculating from the following lines, you have two
different TeX distributions and they might interfere in some ways.
