John Tanaka, the mechanic of the Galactic Space Federation, is in the same unit as Jody Summer. Secretly harboring feelings for her, he entered the race to protect her from danger. If, by a stroke of luck, he wins the Grand Prix, he’s even considering proposing.
Initially, this was only out of concern, but F-Zero GX reveals John Tanaka has a romantic interest in Jody.
John Tanaka is also the designer of his own machine, the Wonder Wasp.

Trivia[]
- In John's F-Zero GX Pilot Profile, Jody Summer's name is misspelled as "Jody Summers". This may be a minor error on the developer's part.
- John claims (during an interview) that the most important racing tip is fastening your seatbelt.
