HKT48 Team KIV member Tanaka Yuka has announced her graduation.

On her Google+ account, Tanaka shared that she started to think about her future last summer. She explained, "I want to return to school and further my education. I am going to graduate in order to prioritize my studies." More details on Tanaka's graduation will be revealed via the group's official website. 

Tanaka passed HKT48's second generation audition when she was just 12 years old and has been an active member of the group since. Her hobby is looking for tanuki (raccoon dog) and her special skill is pretending to be asleep.
