Tatsuya Tanaka (田中 達也, born 27 November 1982 in Shūnan, Yamaguchi) is a Japanese footballer who plays for Albirex Niigata as a striker.

Career

When he was at Shūyō Junior High School, he represented Yamaguchi Prefecture with future international teammate Seiichiro Maki. He went on to football powerhouse Teikyo High School. While at Teikyo, Tanaka was chosen as one of the Designated Players for Development by J. League and JFA. Because of this status, he was able to register as a FC Tokyo player while he was still eligible to play for his high school club.

After graduating Teikyo, he joined Urawa. His first league appearance came on 29 April 2001 against Kashima Antlers.[2] His first professional goal came on 21 May 2001 against Tokyo Verdy 1969.[2]

He represented Japan at several underage levels. He was part of the Japanese 2004 Olympic football team eliminated in the first round after finishing fourth in group B, below group winners Paraguay, Italy, and Ghana.

He made his international debut on 31 July 2005 in an East Asian Cup against North Korea when he replaced Keiji Tamada in the 67th minute. He scored his first international goal on 3 August 2005 against China in the same tournament.[3][4] His most recent goal came against Qatar on 19 November 2008.
