Reina Tanaka is best known as a sixth-generation member of Morning Musume, the legendary J-pop group. She spells her first name in hiragana rather than kanji specifically to distinguish herself from actress Rena Tanaka—they share the same pronunciation and happen to be from the same prefecture, so the spelling difference keeps things clear.
She's the type who makes people laugh pretty easily, whether through jokes or funny faces, and she's genuinely good at making friends. Her charm point is her eyes, and fans often note her energetic personality. When she laughs, she tends to clap her hands—it's become one of her recognizable habits. Her motto sums up her outlook: "If you're allowed to be yourself, you won't do bad things to people."
She's got a few catchphrases that fans recognize: "Otsukareina!" (a playful take on a common Japanese greeting), "Yappii!", "Aa ne!!", and a surprised "Ee!?". Music and PE were always her favorite subjects in school, while math and history never interested her much. Food-wise, she's into cartilage, broccoli, enoki mushrooms, and chocolate, but green bell peppers and natto are hard passes.
Reina's hobbies center around people-watching and TV—she records shows throughout the week and catches them in the mornings. She loves spring and autumn, sunflowers, and the color yellow (along with red, pink, black, and white). She's terrified of ghosts and insects. Her treasures are her family, and she shares her home with five cats: King, Neo, Chea, Peach, and Ruby.
