In addition to Marie Sharp's, I've seen Blair's Death Sauce here and there - believe at Isetan and definitely Nissin. Blair's is a one drop, all about the heat, kind of sauce. Nissin was also carrying Cholula, which is not as hot but has good flavor (kind of similar to Franks).
On a slightly related note - after months of searching in flower shops, gardening stores, home improvement stores, we finally found seeds for Jalapenos in the Daikanyama Eately, of all places.

Have you tried Yuzusco? http://www.yuzusco.com/ I haven't tried it, but I've heard really good things about it.
It's like Tabasco (not my favourite), but with yuzu. (forgot to mention that it's only available my mail order, but that's still sort of like being available in Tokyo, isn't it?
)And there's always sriracha. Who doesn't love sriracha?
Not exactly pepper sauce, but S&B has a line of really delicious rayu. The one I have had fried garlic, but they also had an Italian one (with anchovy) and other kinds I can't remember. Not super spicy, but spicy enough.

re: prasantrin
Yuzusco sounds good. When I was in Hakone, I got some yuzu chilli sauce that looks similar but its red. Can`t remember the name but damn it was good! It was really hot, really salty and really sour- all the good stuff. Does anyone know how hot this Yuzusco is? I like it spicy but not so much it takes over the other flavours, you know?

I think toubanjan (for example the Youki brand) is available in most mid-tier grocery stores that have even a moderately-sized Chinese ingredients section, including Precce, The Garden, etc. Perhaps the ones made in Okinawa are special in some way though.
At one time Butamen Kenkyujyo in Kanda sold a fairly hot ra-yu in the store, they called it "kyojin (強人)-rayu", that had homemade ra-yu and Chinese sansho in it. That was fairly hot.
