If a vegetarian diet were a matter of taste preference you would be right, but usually its a issue of either ethics or biological problems. In some cases, such as difficulty digesting meat, the pork in Japanese is better tolerated.
You might try looking for Korean restaurants if you want to find main dishes in Japan that are tofu based. Many of the soups and stews are made with tofu as the main ingredient - even to the exclusion of meats, though often there is a bit meat or fish for flavoring the broth.
