Tanaka Tomokazu (田中 智和) is a former Karate Instructor who is notable for being the first competitor to ever attempt SASUKE. Amazingly, he was able to clear every obstacle he had time to attempt, despite struggling on Sosoritatsu Kabe. He had a very interesting strategy on Yureru Hashi, placing one leg on each side and slowly sliding across to keep the bridge stable, in which this strategy was quickly obsoleted. However, as he was too slow throughout the course, he eventually timed out on Free Climbing.


Trivia[]

  • He holds the record for the competitor with the most consecutive first clears on a new obstacle, clearing the first six obstacles in the first tournament.
  • He is so far the best ever competitor in terms of #1 who attempt First Stage in the first tournament of an Era (SASUKE 1, SASUKE 5, SASUKE 18, SASUKE 25, SASUKE 28, SASUKE 32, and SASUKE 39). He is also the #1 competitor with the furthest run among those that didn't clear First Stage.
