Do The Japanese Have Neck es?

I notice in most of the Japanese Super Heroine movies, the enemy tends to go for the heroine's neck. When the villain captures the girl, he'll wraps his hands or a chain around her neck. If the villain is not human, he'll wrap one of his tentacles around the heroine's neck. Then you'll have lengthy scenes where the heroine is struggling to break free from her captor's choke hold. Is this a major in Japan?
