Persona 3
Also known as TV Tanaka, Tanaka is a television salesman and president of his own company. If the Protagonist's Charm is high enough, he asks him to be a model for his products. He then swindles the protagonist out of a large sum of money. However, when he sees that the Protagonist is unaware they're being taken advantage of, Tanaka takes them under his wing and begins to teach him about business. The Protagonist would then create the Devil Arcana Social Link.

Tanaka, with a passion for making money and a lack of business ethics, teaches the Protagonist questionable sales tactics. It is implied that Tanaka's materialism may stem from his childhood, coming from a poor family and being constantly looked down upon by his peers.

Tanaka later takes an interest in a female colleague who enjoys doing charity work. He chastises her, but eventually realizes that what he truly loves isn't making money, but educating others so they can be successful. At the end of the Social Link, Tanaka makes a large donation to an orphanage. He gives the Protagonist the a Thank-you Letter from the orphanage, bestowing the Ultimate form Beelzebub.

In the expanded re-release Persona 3: FES, Tanaka is shown hounded by dozens of interviewers lambasting him for his unethical business techniques, demanding him for an explanation. Tanaka then tricks the interviewers, using the interview to advertise his products. Tanaka also mentions that he "has nothing to hide nor be ashamed of", implying that he's turned to socially responsible business methods.

As mentioned above, the Protagonist can also tune in to Tanaka's Amazing Commodities on TV on Sunday mornings, where Tanaka advertises his products.
