There were two tectonic plates involved: the Pacific plate and the plate under Northern Honshu (it is unknown which plate is under the island).
The tectonic plates involved in the Haiti earthquake are the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. The earthquake was caused by the movement along a strike-slip fault between these two plates.

An earthquake is a result of tectonic plates colliding.
The North American and Caribbean tectonic plates caused the Haiti earthquake in 2010. The movement along the boundary between these two plates resulted in the devastating earthquake.
Earthquakes are most common above boundaries between the tectonic plates. If a map is taken and then earthquake patterns marked on it, the clear shapes of the tectonic plates can be seen, out lined by the earthquake markers. (the clear shapes of the tectonic plates...that's actually kind of a cool rhyme...)
The Pacific and North American plates.

The Japanese Islands are a part of four tectonic plates. These plates are the North American plate, the Eurasia, the Pacific, and the Philippine sea plates.

When tectonic plates collide an Earthquake is created.
