Indonesia was the first country to be hit by the tsunami. It took place off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The epicentre for this was off the west coast of Sumatra. The other countries that were hit by this were:
India (western coast), Burma, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Andobar and Nicobar Islands, Thailand, Maldives, Seychelles, Malaysia and countries on the Eastern coast of East Africa - patricularly Somalia, Kenya and Tanzania.
There were many more than 8 countries affected. The most affected countries include:IndiaBangledeshThailandIndonesiaMalaysiaSri LankaSomaliaKenyaTanzaniaSouth AfricaMadagascar
People died in 14 countries, with most deaths in South Asia but a few along the eastern coast of Africa (Somalia in particular). Many more countries were affected in terms of infrastructure damage though.
Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Myanmar, the Maldives, Bangladesh, Madagascar, and the coastal regions of Africa were the areas most affected by the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami (December 26, 2004). As many as 15 to 20 of the countries bordering the Indian Ocean (and some even farther) saw some effect from the disaster. In Africa, there were multiple fatalities in Somalia and Tanzania.;kubgou'ob'oub'ol
The countries most affected by the 2011 tsunami in Japan were Japan itself, with significant damage and casualties along its northeastern coast, including Fukushima, and countries situated across the Pacific Ocean, such as the United States, Chile, and Australia, which experienced smaller waves and coastal impacts.
One tsunami would be the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

Japan is a country that is most affected by them

The boxing day 2004 tsunami was situated in the Indian ocean. It affected 14 countries and it caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1cm. The most affected countries were Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand. It had a magnitude of 9.0 - 9.3 - I only know this because I'm doing a geogrephy project on it and found lots of info on the internet. Hope this helps!
One tsunami would be the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
Regions in the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire" and countries such as Indonesia, Japan, and Chile are often most affected by tsunamis due to their proximity to tectonic plate boundaries and underwater earthquakes. The Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004 is one of the deadliest in history, affecting countries like Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand.
I think it was the Tsunami in 2004.
Japan
The most destructive, though not the largest, tsunami ever recorded was the Boxing Day 2004 tsunami.The Sumatra-Andaman earthquake on 26 December 2004resulted in an earthquake with the magnitude of 9.3 occurring on the ocean floor near the west coast of Sumatra, perhaps the most devastating tsunami ever recorded, the height of the wave was only about 100 feet, far from the largest. Over 230,000 people were killed. The impact of this earthquake affected the time of the Earth's rotation time and It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 cm (0.4 inches).
Tsunami is a old Japanese word meaning Harbor Wave.They are a series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body of water,usually an ocean.Japan has many tsunamis of all.
