Changes: John Tanaka

Revision as of 23:21, 3 March 2020

Pilot

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.

In his youth, John studied at the University of Io under Mason Summer, the famed inventor of the G-Diffuser anti-gravity system. Working with the professor meant getting to know his daughter, Jody Summer with whom John quickly fell in love. He even used the G-Diffuser system to develop a commercially-available flying robot known as the J-love-1 (featured in picture). However, after Mason Summer died during a mysterious crash to Leonid University, John vowed to look after Jody.

Unfortunately, Jody needed no looking after, as she was quite the independent woman. John Tanaka ended up in the same unit as Jody Summer in the Galactic Federation where he got a job as a mechanic. His feelings for Jody are still a secret and he joined the F-Zero races for the sole reason of protecting her. However if by luck he manages to actually win, he's considering proposing to her.

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.
