**Gundham Tanaka** is one of the characters featured in *Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair* as well as supporting protagonist and a minor antagonist of *DanganRonpa 3*. His Ultimate Talent is the Ultimate Breeder and he has four pet hamsters known as the Four Dark Devas Of Destruction.

He succumbed to despair along with his classmates after being brainwashed by Junko Enoshima and became a part of Ultimate Despair.

He is also the main antagonist of Chapter 4 of *Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair* after dueling with Nekomaru Nidai. Gundham came out as the winner, which also made him the culprit of the fourth murder case. During his execution, he protects his hamsters (Four Dark Devas Of Destruction) and Monokuma executes him by running him down by a stampede of animals. The angel animals also sends him to heaven afterwards.

In *Danganropa 3 - Episode Hope*, Gundham awakes from his coma and joins the other Former Remnants of Despair in the final battle and stop Ryota Mitarai.

In Japanese version of both the game and the anime, he is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita. In the English version, he is voiced by Chris Tergliafera in the game and Scott Frerichs in the anime. In the live-action stageplay version of the game, he is portrayed by Masahiro Inoue.
