It's adorable how we think we can prepare for the worst nature can throw at us. The Japanese sure thought they were prepared and they ain't exactly stupid people.
The other problem is, there's two kinds of tsunami. Ones caused by earthquakes tend to have a size limit of 33 meters high. However, a tsunami caused by trillions of tons of rock crashing into the water during a massive landslide doesn't necessarily have a height limit.
