Tanaka Kensuke was a [[Bakumatsu period]] [[Kagoshima han]] retainer who was involved in the ''[[sonno|sonnô]] [[joi|jôi]]'' movement, and in the [[Teradaya Incident]] of [[1862]].
Kensuke was born into the Ikeda family of [[Shimazu clan|Shimazu]] retainers, but was adopted into the Tanaka family. After training at the [[Zoshikan|Zôshikan]] [[domain school]], he became a middle page (''[[kosho|chûkoshô]]'') at the [[Satsuma Edo mansion]]. In [[1859]]/11, he joined the [[Seichugumi|Seichûgumi]]. The following year, the Seichûgumi played some role in plotting the assassination of [[Tairo|Tairô]] [[Ii Naosuke]], alongside [[Mito han]] retainers. Kensuke then requested to return to Kagoshima to fight for the domain, but was denied.
In 1862/4, he traveled to [[Osaka]] as part of [[Shimazu Hisamitsu|Shimazu Hisamitsu's]] retinue on a formal journey to [[Kyoto]]. On 4/23, Kensuke left Osaka alongside [[Arima Shinshichi]] and a number of others and made their way to the [[Teradaya]] in [[Fushimi]], where they were to plan an attack on [[Kanpaku]] [[Kujo Hisatada|Kujô Hisatada]] and others; after an argument with Hisamitsu's messenger ordering an end to the plot, he committed suicide the following day on 1862/4/24.
