Minoru Tanaka

==Summary==
Minoru Tanaka (田中実, Tanaka Minoru) is the protagonist of the Never Complete One-shot.
With the Shinigami's help, and his own ingenuity, he auctions a Death Note off anonymously as his actions are followed and predicted by Near. The United States of America buys it for a sum that leaves every Japanese citizen under the age of 60 set for life, but the King of Death creates a new rule of the Death Note that thwarts Minoru and the U.S. President's plans.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: , with the Death Note
Name: Minoru Tanaka, A-Kira
Origin: Death Note
Gender: Male
Age: 16 or 17
Classification: Human, Student, Death Note User 
Powers and Abilities:
*Genius Intelligence
*Using the Death Note:
**Death Manipulation (As long as Minoru knows a person's name and face, he could kill them by writing their name in the Death Note, causing a heart attack by default)
**Mind Manipulation (Can control people's actions against their will before death, and cause suicide)
**Fate Manipulation (Can control when and how people die within 23 days, and can cause "accidental" deaths through seeming coincidence)
**Limited Probability Manipulation (Can cause events to happen as long as it's logically possible)
**Limited Disease Manipulation ()
Attack Potency: Human level, Unknown with the Death Note (When used normally, the Death Note ignores conventional durability through means of heart attack, but it can be used in other ways and can potentially cause car crashes)
Speed: Average Human
Lifting Strength: Average Human
Striking Strength: Human level
Durability: Human level
Stamina: Average
Range: Standard Melee Range, Interdimensional with the Death Note (Shinigami are capable of killing humans on Earth with it from their separate realm).
Standard Equipment: The Death Note
Intelligence: Gifted, possibly Genius (He's the most intelligent student of the middle school in Japan. His plan outsmarted Near who previously defeated Light Yagami. However, since Minoru's plan does not include the use of the Death Note itself, it is difficult to compare his intelligence to that of his predecessor. Also, he performs poorly in all of his school subjects, mostly due to his laziness.)
Weaknesses: Seems lazy. He is morally opposed to using the Death Note himself. The Death Note has several restrictions, most notably that Minoru needs to know his target's name and face to kill them, and it cannot make subjects do things that would be out of character or would kill others.
