Also, a 4.7 near Chichi-Shima in July, 2006.

It appears to be centered approximately 180 miles NNW of Iwo Jima.

Dunno, I think it's subduction zone. Just a little further south is the Mariana Trench.

USGS 6.1 and Fox News 6.8

At first glance it looks like Fox News is going beyond winning in the ratings and is now winning on the Richter Scale.

That's about the half-way point between Tokyo and Iwo Jima.

I think you are correct. Divergence plates are found in the mid atlantic. A subduction plate would be in an area with high earthquake and volcanic activity.

Sort of ... I went thru Parris Island in the spring of 1964 ... 19 years after the landing on Iwo Jima. One of the motivational/history of the Corps films we were shown was the amphibious landing and subsequent battle on Iwo. One of the shots taken was by a Marine combat cameraman as a Jap shell exploded in the frame ... he was killed but the film was recovered.
