With cmd + bash, the problem does not occur, but I would like to use cmd 
without bash, if possible.

Thank you. quoting only the space character worked, which seems to solve
my problem.

from cmd, with LANG environment variables set to ja_JP.UTF-8

c:\cygwin\home\hiroo> touch ああ" "あ

or

c:\cygwin\home\hiroo> touch ああ' 'あ

gives a file named ああ あ.

The rest may be superfluous, but just to compare with.
Quoting Japanese characters too did not work.

c:\cygwin\home\hiroo> touch "あああ"

gives

c:\cygwin\home\hiroo> ls
'"あああ"'

(and shown as ・あああ・ in explorer)

while

c:\cygwin\home\hiroo> touch "aaa"

gives

c:\cygwin\home\hiroo> ls
aaa

Doing

c:\cygwin\home\hiroo> echo > "あああ"

(in this case, the file name is surely processed by cmd)
gives a file named あああ (without quotes).
