The Sharp A404 datasheet should contain this information and can be found on Sharp's website here:
http://document.sharpsma....H7A404_DS_120106.pdf
Page 1 indicates digital I/Os are 5V tolerant, however, the Electrical specifications indicates I/Os are limited to max 3.6V input which is contradictory.
You'll have to take this question up with Sharp.
Good luck,
