The death toll from a typhoon that pounded Japan this week has risen to six, while five other people including two US serviceman remain missing, reports said Tuesday.

Powerful typhoon Phanfone whirled over Tokyo and other major cities during the Monday morning rush hour, cancelling some 600 flights and suspending more than 100 bullet train services while many factories were shuttered.
