田中孝司 is pronounced as たなかたかし and たなかこうじ. I'm afraid that there could be other
pronunciations of the same kanji characters.

How should I understand it?

kanji pronunciation names
How do I read 田中孝司 as a name?
If a name can be read in several different ways there is no way to predict how
it is read and the only reliable method is to ask the owner of the name.

In the case you brought, it seems that the two reading you gave are the only
ones in use according to this [dictionary of
names](http://name.m3q.jp/list?s=%E5%AD%9D%E5%8F%B8).

However, the name you mention happens to be the name of a football player and
in that case his name is 田中｛たなか｝孝司｛こうじ｝.
