Tanaka was born just south of The Kingdom of Norland, and he was abandoned due to money issues with his family. After a few years in an orphanage, he was sold to some friendly seeming people, that raised him until he was 8. During this time everything was just a normal life for a child. However, after he turned 8 his family sold him off to an organization which forces the children sold to them to partake in child labor. for 7 years he worked in machineries, being beaten every day. When he was 15 he had finally had enough and escaped. He soon found an abandoned home in the middle of a forest and made it his home. After around 4 years of living there he started to make his way towards The Holy Orenian Empire, which he heard was a much better place to be when working in the machineries. For a year he made his way over, and eventually made it.
