Does Wikipedia's principles need consensus of the community? There is not consensus of the community, but does somebody pass if filled out the page with "Policy"?

There are values which are at the core of Wikipedia and cannot really be changed (the 5 pillars). However, it is good practice to discuss them and adapt them to the local community. For example, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, period, but the threshold for notability may be different in the different languages. If you want to create a policy in your project that en.wp already has, it is good practice to start from the en.wp policy and adapt it to the local project. Maybe you won't change a word, maybe you'll specify a few things, maybe you'll realize that you need something very different.

As for a Japanese version, The Five Pillars is not adopted. Wikipedia:Consensus is not policy. The controversy is solved by the vote. Isn't there problem?

Yes, but within broad parameters, essentially NPOV and some democratic method of making decisions, it is your problem.
