We will re-evaluate the system through which we instruct and guide any players we sign to our team in the future thoroughly in order to make sure that nothing like this happens again in the future. Our corporation does not believe in discrimination or insults, whether they be through statements or actions, or online posts, and we value all people equally. Miss Tanukana's inappropriate statements in her live stream on February 15th of 2022 were not approved by us and have led to us terminating her contract.

We have decided to cut ties with Miss Tanukana today, February 17th of 2022. We here at Cyclops Athlete Gaming apologize deeply for the inappropriate statements from our sponsored player Tanukana and the pain her words have caused people, as well as all the distress and trouble caused to the fans who support our team and the sponsors involved. The organization has issued an apology along with their statement on the matter. Regardless, the attention and controversy that the incident generated was enough for Cyclops to remove her from their team. It can also be used to mean 'an item or character that all players need to have,' and that has sparked some discussion as to whether Tanukana meant her statements differently than they've been interpreted. Kotaku also pointed out that jinken (人権) in Japanese means 'human rights,' but it also holds a different meaning when used as gaming terminology. 'Men who are under 170 cm (5 ft 6.9 in) don’t have human rights,” is the quote that landed the player in hot water, and Kotaku reports that she also went on to say that those below said height should consider bone-lengthening surgery. With her remarks during the stream, Tanukana reportedly targeted short men.

She has numerous top placings in major Tekken events on her résumé, and was even invited to Daigo Umehara's second Kemonomichi event back in 2018 to compete in a Tekken 7 exhibition. Tanukana is one of the most prominent female fighting game players competing today.
