Tanaka

Tanaka is a character and NPC encountered in Fear &amp; Hunger: Termina.

Lore
He is a businessman encountered inside the train that transports the Termina contestants to Prehevil. After the dream sequence that all the contestants have when the game begins, he seems to find himself lost for words and does not answer if the player interacts with him.

Location
Tanaka can be located later in a bunker located to the west of the Woodsman's shack. The player will first come across his hat, dropped on the floor. Passing by it, one can hear the sound of saw cutting through flesh, and if the player decides to investigate further south, he/she will come across Needles beheading Tanaka inside of the rooms. Even if the player makes haste, Needles cannot be interacted with until the beheading is concluded, meaning Tanaka cannot be saved.

If one kills Needles in the city before reaching the Bunker (which means finding the Bolt Cutters and opening the gates with it to fight Needles in the next area) the player should find only his hat on the ground but no trace of him anywhere else. Talking to Per'kele also doesn't add a death to the counter, meaning that he is still alive in that scenario even if he can't found anywhere else.

Trivia

 * In older versions of the game, the mind reading abilty would tell you about how worried he is about dissapointing his father and missing his meeting.
