If you have already gone through RtK 1&3, congrats! But it's probably too late to start adding in Japanese definitions to the keywords. I'm under the opinion that it will mostly be a waste of time (this late in the game). Now it's much more worth your time to start working on an actual vocab or sentence deck, and just upkeep your RTK deck as long as you possibly can in the background. (Till you get bored with it.)

Honestly, you probably can skip a vocab deck and dive straight into sentences with Subs2SRS + the Morphology plugin for Anki. Subs2SRS is a pain to setup, but it's output is outstanding once it is. The Morphology plugin keeps a database of the words you tell it you know, so it will find sentences that are as close to your level of difficulty as possible.

Japanese definitions of the English keywords? I'm afraid I also don't see any value in that. If you mean Japanese definitions of Japanese keywords, I think  a sentence showing usage of the word (which also hints at its meaning) might be a better route. (But doing this for every word seems like overkill to me.)

If it's Japanese keywords, you might want to cross reference the Tanuki deck which contains very brief sentences and definitions for a selections of words for each of the 1981 Jouyou kanji. Also, expect to make some changes to the Japanese keyword list that's been posted.

edit: Oh, I sound like a killjoy. Let me explain. It's easy to caught up in wanting to complete/improve resources and to end up not making the most productive use of our time. I'm hoping you might avoid the mistakes I made!  :-)

Well, I don't know anything about Japanese definitions, what I did something along the way was something along the lines of this, a Japanese vocab word. But I did this too late into RtK to make any realistic use of it. (It does help a lot when you get some keywords confused). But in general, it was too much effort to change my old cards.
