Does Japan care for US imports?

Japan seems to get random movies and games exported from the US- I've seen the entire Tomb Raider series, Rebel Assault II, and Wing Commander IV.  Are there any games that Japan is actually dissapointed in not getting?  Like the GTA series, or Madden?  I know it's very America-centric, but there seem to be plenty of fans of US cutlure.  What do they get now mostly?  There are plenty of US made computer RPGs, for example.  Is Japan getting any of those, or are theey ignored?  A lot of older US RPG series were extremely popular in the past (Ultima, Wizardry).

This is sort of a biased comment, but I don't think anyone but America cares about football. ;P (except their game called football. y'know, soccer.)

I could be wrong, but whatever.
