Tanaka TSHD

Due to a spiritual impairment he suffered a long time ago, Tanaka is now blind. Upon medical examination it was found that there is no physiological reason for his blindness. However, he is more or less able to see using a pair of sunglasses provided by his company. He at some point sustained a spiritual injury when he became too "absorbed" in his work, which resulted in the scar on his neck that occasionally erodes into his body. Around twenty years in the past, he acquired a hamster that he uses for work.

Tanaka has an carefree, aloof demeanor. He can keep up friendly conversation, but people usually describe him as somewhat strange. As demonstrated in his interactions with impurities, Tanaka is decisive and able to keep a level head during intense situations. He must have reasonably strong intuitive judgement, since his line of work requires him to make assumptions about impurities that he can't actually perceive himself. Although Tanaka dislikes the Company he works for and doesn't want to let them have their way with "Something", his unexplained personal motivations related to this particular job drive him to take his work on Case AA-104 seriously. It matters to him to the point that he is willing to damage or sacrifice parts of his body for it.

A man of tall stature, nearly 190 cm tall (6'3"). He has gray eyes and blonde hair with black roots, and light stubble on his chin. He wears sunglasses, dark green sneakers, black pants, and a slightly dirtied white button-down shirt over a black undershirt. He also wears a dark green fanny pack facing his back and keeps a pen hooked on his shirt pocket. There is a patch of scar tissue on the right side of his neck.
