Tanaka is a minor antagonist that appears in.

Biography
Tanaka was a high-ranking executive on the Arasaka Academy board and was the father of Katsuo.

After Katsuo and David had their second fight, a recording of it was shown to Tanaka. At first, he was not interested in the matter, but realized an opportunity for the company after seeing David's capabilities to handle the military-grade Sandevistan implant. He conceived the plan to lure David back to the academy, so Arasaka could test a not further described piece of cyberware on David.

Tanaka became a target himself, when fixer Faraday demanded Tanaka's navigation data, and the group around Maine started a data heist from Tanaka's driver, Maxim Kuznetsov. The crew managed to succeed, even though the heist did not go as planned.

Maine's crew found out about Tanaka's secret delight of watching raw XBDs created by the master editor Jimmy Kurosaki, and lured him into a trap. He tried to defend himself, but accidentally killed Kurosaki, and was captured by Maine's crew.

Tanaka was taken as a prisoner by Maine's crew and brought to a secret location to extract his data. The group first put Kiwi on the job, but Maine, who was slowly slipping into cyberpsychosis, incapacitated her by hitting her in the face and dislodging her facial cyberware. As a result, Lucy was forced to take over. Tanaka was later killed by Maine in his cyberpsychotic rage.
