well, what works in the world video games, might just work in the world of anime 
On that front, I like you kidnapping idea. Stun her and she faints in the captor's arms. I can picture it just now. In fact, would you mind if I used this concept for a comic in the form of a storyboard. Haruhi spots something she believes is extraterrestrial. Runs after it and losses track. Captor behind her taps on her shoulder. She turns around only to be given a fainting pinch. After which she is secured and carried away.

Go ahead man. It's not like I have KO kidnapping copy righted. I personally don't find pinches dynamic enough for kidnapping though.
It'd be more exciting for the captor to grab her shoulder while (somewhat lightly) jabbing her on the torso after she turns around. She then falls face first into her captors chest. It comes off as a bit more forceful while still not hurting the damsel.

I just used the '
inch' as a figure of speech. Anyway, I didn't know if you were planning on doing anything similar, so I asked just to be sure.

You can sinisterly tell your henchman to make sure that the snoopy Heroines is made "comfortable" as you leave the room, only to return to find her gone, and your henchman happily informing you that she left after he gave her a shoulder massage. (When inquired why he's happy he relates that he got her phone number). Of course it's possible they might misinterpret a benign statement as an order to kidnap some girl (good), but as a truely evil overlord every one of our orders that pertains to cute damsels needs to involve tying them up, gagging them, man handling them, knocking them out, stripping them to their skivvies, attaching them to death traps, or prepping them for a life as your helpless playthings. 
And while I have several things in mind at the moment, and despite me liking this particular KO method, I don't believe it really fits the scenario(s) I'm working on.
