LAX-NRT on JAL gets in 16:40. Next flight NRT-KUL was leaving at 22:30, now leaves 10:20 next day, requiring overnight layover at NRT.

On the way back, KUL-NRT was getting in at 7:40, now gets in 18:05 the previous night, requiring overnight layover at NRT for the onward flight.

Is there even a way to overnight layover at NRT without entering Japan? Is it even possible to enter Japan in order to have the layovers, if needed?

There is currently no possibility to have an overnight connection in Narita. Unless you are eligible to enter Japan. So you would need to get those flights adjusted.

Though JL724 which is the KUL NRT operating these days departs 22:50 and gets in to NRT at 06:45 so that should be fine, if a slightly long layover.
