Outlook - One of the guys whose one the verge of making it big. After sharing FMW's top spot with Hayabusa for some time, the Dangan Fighter just left. After some freelancing, he's ready to be a top flight worker for Zero-One and help out the FMW offshoots when he can. While he's not a bright fish in a small, dark pond anymore, he has few people in his league around him. He still brings out the best in people and is still in the top three indy workers as he has been for years. His relationship with Shinjiro Otani has been the focal point of Zero-One since Shinya Hashimoto started slowing down. They were an excellent tag team, had a great feud and have even invaded companies and warded off invasions together. Tanaka has maintained his ability and while he has not had big shots in other companies, Tanaka seems content to be one of the best guys and representing Zero-One MAX and his FMW past to the best of his ability.
