Raised in the Shizuoka Prefecture, to the southwest of the capital, Tanaka moved to Tokyo to study graphic design at Tama Art University and after graduation joined the national television broadcaster NHK.
His work as an art director in the computer graphics department helped him learn the trade until, when another broadcaster approached him with an idea for a kids TV show, he set sail and launched his own company, Frame Graphics, in 1992.
