Anime Appearances
Persona 3 The Movie: Falling Down
President Tanaka can be seen trying to recruit Maiko Oohashi for his production, but is interrupted by Makoto Yuki. Makoto accidentally rips his suit in the process and takes a part-time job at Chagall Cafe to pay him back.
Persona 4 The Animation
In episode 14, Yu speaks to Hisano Kuroda near the Samegawa Flood Plain. After she leaves, he sees a gigantic fish pop out of the water with her comb. He immediately goes home and buys a Fishing Addicts Set from Tanaka's Amazing Commodities so he can catch the fish and get her comb back.
Trivia
- The Persona section of Aniplex's online store is named after Tanaka's shop.
- Makoto Yuki believes the Tanaka's Amazing Commodities jingle is "irritating" while Yu Narukami thinks it's "infectiously cheery".
- In Persona 3 Reload's credits, the jingle's vocals are accredited to "P3R Staff" instead of "ATLUS Sound Team." On the album's digital release, it is accredited to "ペルソナ3 リロード 開発スタッフ一同" which translates to "Persona 3 Reload Development Staff." Henceforth, it can be concluded that the voices heard in the jingle are not those of the ATLUS Sound Team, but rather of the developers.
Nomenclature
The Japanese name, "Jikanet Tanaka", is a parody of the real life Japanet Takata.
