How many people died in Tokyo from the Japanese earthquake earlier this year?

Question:

Im doing an essay where im trying to prove that megacities are not the cause of megadisasters. I have decided to compare an earthquake in mexico city 16 years ago to the earthquake in Japan earlier this year. Does anyone know how many people in particular died from this earthquake in just Tokyo alone? I dont want the total number of fatalities from this earthquake throughout Japan. Ta :D

Answer:

The thing is the Earthquake didn't kill many people, the death toll was a result of the resulting Tsunami, the vast majority of people in the coastal area survived the quake, but many later were killed in the resulting Tsunami (two events).

According to the Japanese National Police Agency, as a result of the Earthquake, 7 (SEVEN) people died in Tokyo for various causes. No one was killed in Tokyo because of the Tsunami. The quake a lone was the largest felt quake in Tokyo in modern history, buildings swayed left and right, but for a place with over 12 million people (more daytime population as well), Tokyo survived virtually (with minor damages) in tact.

I repeat SEVEN in Tokyo as a result of the Earthquake (generally falling items, but the actual causes of death is not listed). I say this because a few years ago there was an Earthquake and one man was killed when he ran out outside and was hit by a truck.
