THE TANAKA FAMILY FACTUAL PT.3 [SIBLINGS & MORE]✨

Hey guys,

How is everyone doing? I hope all is well.

Season two will begin soon. Therefore, I will be sharing some facts about the Tanaka family to make dissecting the information that will be released in season two easier.

Trigger warning, mentions of suicide, violence against women and children.

1. Heihachiro Tanaka had 5 sons overall. Hiroshi and Hiroki are the twins' names, and they were born to his first wife, Fumiko Otsuke. Fumiko Otsuke was the youngest daughter of the Otsuke clan. She was sold to the Tanaka Clan at the age of 13 in return for territory, bringing an end to both families' vicious gang war. Fumiko died during childbirth at the age of 14, when Heihachiro opted to preserve the twins' lives above her own. Heihachiro insisted that the Otsuke clan provide a replacement if they wanted to maintain the treaty between them after Fumiko passed away. A few weeks later, Umeko Otsuke, 16, replaced her younger sister's place. Umeko and Heihachiro had three sons together: Haru Tanaka, Higura Tanaka, and Hinato Tanaka.

2. Hiroki Tanaka was a few minutes older than Hiroshi Tanaka. Therefore, he was automatically the heir of the Tanaka Syndicate. However, Heihachiro noted the twins' differences from an early age. While Hiroki was recognized as the syndicate's successor, his demeanor was not appropriate for the post. He was a sensitive youngster with his mother's personality and fundamental convictions, as his father described him. Hiroshi possessed Heihachiro's harsh manner and rigorous convictions but lacked compassion. Hiroki loved Megumi more than the Syndicate, which irritated his father. Hiroshi committed suicide by performing'seppuku' when Megumi died of sickness. He chose that method of suicide to protect the reupation of his family, especially his brother. Who was also the boss at the time.

3. Hiroshi Tanaka became the syndicate's successor when Hiroki chose love over power. Hiroki married 25-year-old Megumi Sakamoto, the Sakamoto family's oldest daughter at the time. Heihachiro was strongly opposed, not only because of her age but also because she was a sickly lady, and Hiroki needed children in order to become the Tanaka Syndicate head. Hiroshi was also against the marriage. During the heated argument between Hiroki and their father, Hiroshi's face was scarred after their father attacked Hiroki.

4. Haru Tanaka was the third-oldest brother. His wife, Honoka Kojima, was 15 years old at the time of their marriage, and they had three sons together. Hiro murdered all three of Haru's boys during a regulated fight in front of the whole family. Haru and his wife developed resentment against Hiroshi and his family. Honoka tried to assassinate Hiro as a consequence but was unsuccessful. Hiro kept it a secret to protect his uncle and aunt's families.

5. The fourth oldest brother was Higura Tanaka. Noriko Akiyama, his wife, was 16 years old when they were married. Together, they have four boys. Unfortunately, Hiro also murdered Higura's eldest son and second-oldest son in combat. Given that Hiro's younger brother was murdered by the Akiyama clan, it was hypothesized that Higura and Norika were complicit. Nevertheless, Hiroshi punished them despite the fact that it was never proved, and he lost trust in his brothers.

6. Hinato Tanaka was the younger and weaker of the Tanaka brothers. He had two boys with his wife, Shinju Miyazaki, who was 14 years old when they married. Hinato sacrificed/mutilated his left eye and right arm to keep his kids from fighting. Hiroshi chose this punishment above murdering his brother since he was violating family customs to preserve his children and his wife's emotions. Consequently, Hinato struggled to rise in the syndicate's hierarchy and frequently faced disregard from his father, Heihachiro. These conditions made life on the Tanaka estate difficult, but his family couldn't leave.

7. Because of these harsh circumstances, males born into the Tanaka family were often stronger and more fearless than their opponents.
