I think that the only reason that we didn't with most of the Japanese was they did it for us. And stripping the Emperor of his divinity and making him recognize that he was merely human was close enough to an execution for him.

Not actually. Mussolini was ousted in a coup in 1943, the military coup leader surrendered to the allies, the Germans seized most of Italy & set up a rival government that I think was nominally led by Mussolini. Piñata time came in 1945, I think shortly after German forces in Italy surrendered.
