A tapered neckline and a graduated back can belong to the same haircut. Taper describes a reduction towards a shorter area; graduation describes how lengths build weight. Neither term alone gives a complete account of the finished back shape.
When comparing Japanese and Western barbering descriptions, ask where each idea is being applied. You may want a compact lower edge but a fuller curve above it. That preference can be explained through the relationship of sections rather than a single style name. Your barber should be able to show which part will look close and which will retain substance, making the technical vocabulary useful to your own design decision.
