Actual Behavior
For example, when typing the word sushi/すし, pressing the key 's', 'u', 's', 'h', 'i'. and press enter key to confirm the converted characters.
it is expected to be typed すし, but the first pressing 's' is ignored and typed うし, the character that should be typed when pressing 'u', 's', 'h', 'i'.
it doesn't occur except for the first keystroke. when typing sushi/すし, it only occures on the first 's' pressing.
I try with Google Japanese Input and Microsft IME and it occures with both.
it occures about once every ten times.
it doesn't occur when writing English.
and it doesn't occur with other terminals such as PuTTY or vscode terminal.

The problem occurs when the next IME input is started before the Enter key-up of the immediately preceding IME confirmation.
The first "s" of the second "sushi" is always missing in the following steps:
You can avoid the problem by using Ctrl-M instead of Enter to confirm the IME.

I suspect this got resolved with the IME rewrite in #17067. Let me know if I got that wrong.
