The numbers listed for the Pacific basin are too big -- U.S. tsunami deaths are far fewer. That's why you don't see the U.S. listed.
Hawaiian tsunamis in the 20th century (in 1946 & 1960, among others) have killed several hundred people, including 159 people in the 1946 event alone.
Alaskan tsunamis in the 20th century (1900, 1946, 1958, 1964 & 1994) have killed about 137 people.
