The Japanese name for the raccoon-dog, Nyctereuctes procyonoides. In folklore the animal is credited with supernatural powers, including shapeshifting, money counterfeiting, and most notably of expanding its already very large scrotum to use as a drum or a weapon. Tanuki statues are a popular part of Japanese kitsch, portraying a jolly, plump little anthropomorphization of the creature, usually with a straw hat, a bottle of sake, a purse of bills for his carousing, and of course his big wrinkly testicles dragging on the ground between his feet.
The Studio Ghibli feature Pompoko was never properly imported to the United States due to its copious and unabashed supply of tanuki balls.

Member of Jpop idol group, Morning Musume. Entered Morning Musume through the 'Morning Musume Love Audition 2002' as their 6th generation (along with Kamei Eri, Michishige Sayumi and then Hello! Project soloist, Fujimoto Miki). 6th gen debuted with Shabondama (MM 19th single), with Reina taking lead. The single sold over 150,000 copies.
Reina had also tried her luck with the 'Morning Musume Love Audition 21', but did not make it (glad she decided not to give up).
Do not mix up Tanaka Reina with Japanese actress, Tanaka Rena.

How many Tanaka Reinas does it take to change a lightbulb? None. The correct question should be, how many people can Tanaka Reina get to change a lightbulb FOR her. Answer; as many as she damn well pleases.
