JAL flight crew protocol or changes in the aftermath of KE unruly passenger incidents

In the aftermath of KE480 flight with an unruly passenger, I wonder if it would be different with JAL or ANA. According to CNN, KE just changed policy to allow "free-r" use of teasers and increase male to female crew ratio.

Questions I have are: Do Japanese airlines have tasers or other safety measures KE doesn't have? Will they now have some male flight crew? I fly JAL a few times a year and always wonder why I never see male flight attendants. Not saying that women can't handle unruly passengers but I think having mix gender crew would help, not hurt in incidents like this.

Curious what local Japanese media are saying about Japanese airlines response to this.
