The death toll from the March 11, 2011 Sendai earthquakes and tsunami continued to climb weeks after the initial destruction due to the amount of damage.

The major earthquake and tsunami caused so much damage and confusion (not to mention the many aftershocks) that it's impossible to separate how many people were killed in the earthquakes as opposed to the tsunami. Likewise, many people died later from injuries suffered in this disaster.

The National Police Agency of Japan reported that as of March 2013 a total of 15,882 deaths, 6,142 injured, and2,668 people still missing. This surpasses the death toll for the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake.

The largest number of deaths was in the Miyagi, Iwate, and Fukushima districts. Over 92% of reported deaths were due to drowning.
