She held the world record in that event from 1959 to 1963, lowering it 10 times—except for one week in 1960 when American Lynn Burke held the mark. Tanaka represented Japan in both the 1960 and 1964 Olympics, earning a bronze medal in Rome in the 100 meter back (1:11.14). Tanaka was denied a chance at gold in the 200 back, since the event was not offered to women at either Olympics. She held the Japanese national record in the 200 meter back from 1958 to 1970.
