Even in Japan you can get them sort of deep fried.
They don't really do the whole deep fry the whole roll thing, but rolls with deep fried shrimp, fish, or even chicken are quite common. Getting deep fried (tempura) style shrimp on top of chunk of rice (the nigiri style) is common, too.
Here are examples of each: nigiri, maki. I am happy to report that, even with sushi, deep fried is in fact awesome.
If you are ever there, stop by a Seven Eleven (I know it sounds weird, but convenience stores are a big deal there, and their Seven Eleven isn't really related to ours anymore...) This one - Beef, Egg, and Mayo is pretty badass, too.
