THE TANAKA FAMILY FACTUAL PT.2 ✨
🕑 Added 2024-09-29 13:04:00 +0000 UTCHey 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: SA, domestic violence, child bride, violence against women and children.
1. Chiyoko and Hiroshi married when she was twelve years old and he was in his mid-thirties. This was implied in the 'Book of Short Stories' available on TAPAS. At the time, Chiyoko was the Tanaka family's youngest bride. This caused tension within the Tanaka family since Hiroshi's twin brother Hiroki was opposed to the marriage due to Chiyoko's age and wanted to break with family 'tradition.' This did not go well, considering that Hiroshi was the heir.
2. After three miscarriages, Chiyoko gave birth to Hiro when she was 13 years old. Hiroshi and Chiyoko went on to have fourteen children. However, only four of them managed to stay alive. Numerous miscarriages befell Chiyoko, and the daughters she gave birth to were murdered.
3. Hiroki and his wife were unable to have children, and he refused to accept another wife. As a result, Hiroshi gained the favor of their father, Heihachiro Tanaka, who was the boss at the time.
4. Hiro was Hiroshi's eldest child and the strongest grandchild. Which boosted Hiroshi's recognition while entirely winning over Heihachiro's approval. As a reward, Hiroshi was appointed boss of the Tanaka Syndicate, making Hiro his heir.
5. Hiroshi's household was the strictest among Heihachiro's sons. His brothers referred to it as "The House of Eternal Damnation," "Purgatory," or "Hell on Earth." Their children were not permitted to go there, especially while Hiroshi was there, since simply gazing at him in a specific manner was considered rude.
6. Chiyoko's age and beauty made her vulnerable in the presence of the Tanaka men's spouses, and she was often tormented by them, forcing her to remain confined to her home. Only at family feasts or during battles among the grandchildren did people see her. Chiyoko was often forced to conceal her face or wear a mask when she had to be near Hiroshi's siblings. He disliked the notion of other men admiring her beauty.
7. Hiroki and his wife were immensely fond of Chiyoko, particularly Hiroki. This enraged Hiroshi, and he prohibited her from entering his brother's household without his company.
8. Hiro's cousins were completely hostile to him. They often picked on his younger siblings, particularly Saitama, who was the youngest of the four. Hiro had the same anger as his father. Thus, his relatives dubbed him 'The Son of the Devil' or 'Walking Demon.' His relatives often ignored him, and the antagonism grew unbearable for Hiro once he became the Heir.
9. Chiyoko wasn't fond of Hiro and rarely talked to him. Hiro was subjected to all his mother's verbal, physical, and emotional abuse. As Hiro got older, his resemblance to his father became uncanny, making it unbearable for Chiyoko to be near or even look at him. Her favorite children were Chiharu, Chikao, and Saitama. Which he was openly aware of.
10. Following the deaths of the twins Chiharu and Chikao, Hiroshi totally isolated his family and grew even more controlling, as did his abuse. Chiyoko blamed Hiro for their misfortune, and she grew paranoid and overprotective of Saitama, isolating the two boys.
Thank you for reading. This is a small piece of the Tanaka family lore. It dives deeper in season two. I hope this basic information will allow everyone to have a better understanding.
Thank you.

As history shows, abusers are usually victims of abuse themselves and learning about the past will give context to the story’s future I’m sure. It breaks my heart that Chiyoko was forced to be a bride at such a young age but it’s not surprising to say the least… I’m hoping that we don’t see Hiro descend into further madness and that he learns to fight his demons, the amount of trauma he has already suffered through makes me want to see him become a better person but I know this story is a complex and emotional one so I’m ready to be heartbroken😅💔

My heart goes out to all the victims of these vile people . Chiyoko, Chiharu, Chikao, Hiro, and Saitama all deserved better. The more I learn about Hiro the more depressing it gets. I can’t wait to learn more about Chiyoko though, the abuse and torment she suffered is heart wrenching

Thank you for sharing this!! This new season is going to be one wild ride and it's going to so good to see how Hiro's unfortunate childhood changed him and made him change some rules of the syndicate. I feel absolutely terrible for Chiyoko tho... Having 13 total children unviable for life and then 2 murdered must have changed her so much...
