How many people have died in Japan from that Nuc fall out.

I know that my estimates will be correct. No one wants to know.

1. I don't think anyone has actually died from the fallout,

by which I assume you mean airborne radiation that was carried away from the reactors. I do think the case could be made of some deaths that occurred among reactor workers who were exposed to high levels of radiation, similar to what happened to some workers at a nuclear fuels processing facility about 50 miles south of Fukushima Dai-ichi back in 1999. I also think there will be adverse health effects from this, especially among people who are living immediately downwind from the reactors.

2. the answer is zero.

none.

4. Zero documented so far, if you're talking about radiation effects from Fukushima

Even among plant workers there are no radiation-related deaths, though there are deaths from other causes.

Part of that is that there's a latency period before cancer develops. My own estimate is that the in the coming years the number will be in the thousands.

5. I agree.
