This article's subject lies mainly within the Sonic X continuity. The information may not be canonical to the storyline of the Sonic games.

Mr. Tanaka is a character from Sonic X. He is Chris Thorndyke's Japanese butler. He is tall, thin, looks very stern and wears glasses. He is a skilled martial artist and develops a relationship with Topaz in the first series. He discovered the presence of Sonic and the others long before Ella did and revealed his secret to Chris when he found him scolding Cream. Tanaka entered the Emerald Fighting Tournament and was defeated by Emerl. In the French dub, his first name is revealed to be Edward. Tanaka is 35 years old, 175 cm (5ft 9in) tall, and weighs 72 kg (154 lbs).^[1]

Even though he is a good friend of Sonic, Sonic holds him in low comtempt and doesn't like it when he goes on adventures with him, believing that he isn't useful. This may be because he usually hinders Sonic more than he helps when he tries to help Sonic.

In the English dub, he speaks with a stereotypical Japanese accent and is voiced by Ted Lewis.
