The death toll currently is up to almost 10,000.
>10,000 at present.AdditionallyMost of the missing have since been found drowned or declared dead and 2,814 people are reported missing in a Japanese National Police Agency report as of 2 September 2012.
When human bodies are swept away by a tsunami, they may become trapped, entangled in debris, or be carried far out to sea. Due to the force of the water and impact with objects, the bodies may be injured or suffer trauma. Unfortunately, recovery efforts may be challenging due to the vast areas affected by tsunamis.

Depends on where it took place. Some places rebuild while others don't. Historians have found evidence of ancient tsunamis. In one I read about they uncovered a city, located today several miles from the coast, that had been buried by a tsunami. There was no record of this city, but the signs could be seen that a tsunami had hit it and those alive moved away. In Japan they are still rebuilding.
As it was a localised, though tragic, event most of the population of the earth survived the tsunami.

None after the tsunami

The earthquake that hit Japan caused the reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant to shut down and the tsunami wiped out the cooling systems. As a result, the reactor is overheating and releasing dangerous amounts of radiation into the atmosphere. People living within 20 km of the plant have been evacuated. Extremely high levels of radiation have also been found in food grown in Japan.
On March 11, 2011 at 2:46pm (Japan standard time), a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred at an underwater depth of approximately 30 km (19 mi). This earthquake resulted in a large tsunami that hit the northern coast of Japan. At 3:27pm, the first tsunami strikes Fukushima nuclear plant.More details of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake can be found here.
a power full tsunami has swept across a large area of northern japan causing major damage, flooding towns and sweeping away buildings. it was triggered by a 8.9 magnitude earth quake . police say up 300 bodies have been found in Sendai, the city that was worst hit , many more people are missing.
There has been a tragic earthquake that hit Japan. The magnitude was 9.0 and the earthquake then caused a tsunami. The tsunami then broke the nuclear reactor's cooling system. Japan is trying desperately to cool the reactors down. They are even dumping water from helicopters. People are being told to evacuate immediately. There was a woman and her grandson who was found trapped in their own house for nine days while people are still being found. If you watch a video of the tsunami, you can see the there were cars being tossed around like toys. There was actually a man who was trapped in one of the cars but survived. There are still after shocks from this giant earthquake. -_-
As of 9:00am March 11, 2011 up to 300 bodies were found on the coast of Sendai. 137 comfirmed dead and with about 531 were missing.As of March 16, 2011, the count has risen to a few thousand, with estimations reaching over 10,000 once all the dust settles and rescue missions are completed. Tens of thousands are feared missing, which will end up adding to the count.

The magnitude 9.0 earthquake off the shore of Japan occurred at 2:46 p.m. (local time) on March 11, 2011. The U.S. Geological Survey agency said this was the biggest quake to hit Japan since record-keeping began in the late 1800s and one of the biggest ever recorded in the world.A timeline of events on March 11 and following days can be found here. More details of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake can be found here.
