Mixing Kanji (Han script) & Hiragana in a single Japanese word is
certainly quite common (main part of the word in kanji, the ending in
hiragana). I can't think of any cases where the other two would be
mixed (with each other or with either of the first two scripts) within a
single word, but my Japanese is pretty poor - there could easily be
cases I'm not aware of.
Cheers,
Nick.
