- For the Tanaka Moriaki involved in the Teradaya Incident, see Tanaka Kensuke.
Tanaka Moriaki was one of nineteen young men from Satsuma han who snuck out of the country in 1865 to study abroad in Europe.
Twenty-three at the time of the mission, he focused in his studies on medicine. In 1866/1, he split off from the group and lived in France for a time, before returning to Japan the following year (1867). There, he became the head of the silver mines in Shôno, Hyôgo prefecture, and is said to have played a significant role in the Meiji period development of mining in Japan.
