The two I checked were thrust, consistent with subduction. This may be along the north edge of the 2011 rupture? Today, there are scattered M4+ quakes farther south, including a M4.6 near Tokyo.

I never thought about it before, but do subduction zones experience progressive failure like transform faults? Like the North Anatolian?
