An avid Burning PT player, Tenzan Nakajima is an easy-going person, with a very straightforward set of beliefs. Like Ryusei Date, he too is an otaku, and obsesses over video games. Even when drafted into the Divine Crusaders as a soldier, he still sees the battlefield as a simulated reality; as long as he destroys his enemiess down and advance into the next battle, he'll eventually reach the end and win.
Tenzan participated in the same Burning PT Tournament as Ryusei Date. However, Tenzan would not appear in the finals of the tournament, as he was already recruited by the Divine Crusaders (in the animated Super Robot Wars Original Generation: Divine Wars, Tenzan would face Ryusei in the finals, defeating him easily, and win the tournament. He would join the Divine Crusaders after a Megillot attack), courtesy of Adler Koch, who saw a piloting potential in the young man. Tenzan would serve the Divine Crusaders throughout the [[../../Glossary#Divine Crusaders War|Divine Crusaders War]], often meeting Ryusei in battle. Although Ryusei would attempt to coax him into stop believing that this sort of fighting will eventually kill one of them, Tenzan wouldn't hear any of it, and continue his reckless endangerment of life.
When Adler assumed command of the Divine Crusaders, following Bian Zoldark's defeat, Tenzan would pilot a [[../../Glossary#GEIM System|GEIM System-equipped]] Valsion Custom. However, during the middle of a sortie, the system would overwhelm Tenzan's mind; in mere moments, he was driven mad and proved to be a threat to ally and foe alike. It wouldn't take long for the crew of the Hagane and Hiryu Custom to shoot him down, destroying his Valsion Custom.
Tenzan would survive the crash, as the Aerogaters secretly retrieved him, brainwashing him into their ranks and having him pilot an Ezekiel Adom. Now as Gaza Haganer, he would serve the Aerogaters without question and participate in the [[../../Glossary#L5 Campaign|L5 Campaign]], with his final battle within the [[../../Glossary#White Star|White Star]] (this event only occurs in the Original Generation games; Tenzan would be officially killed in action in Divine Wars). Before his last moments, Tenzan's memories would resurface within Gaza, but it would be too late, as the Vaikul Ben Tenzan was in exploded, finally ending his life.
Tenzan's name as Gaza Haganer is probably derived from the city of Gaza.
