contents We investigate nucleon tensor form factors in the large-$N_{c}$ limit. In this picture, the nucleon emerges as a state of the $N_c$ valence quarks, which were bound by pion mean fields that were created by the presence of the valence quarks self-consistently. We find that the tensor charge ($g^{u-d}_{T}=0.99$) and the anomalous tensor magnetic moment ($κ^{u+d}_{T}=7.61$) are dominated by valence quarks, while the tensor quadrupole moment ($Q^{u-d}_{T}=-7.02$) shows significant sea quark effects. We examine how these quantities vary as the average size of the pion mean field is changed, showing interpolation between non-relativistic quark and Skyrme limits. We also observe that $g^{u-d}_{T}$ and $κ^{u+d}_{T}$ depend weakly on the pion mass. In contrast, $Q^{u-d}_{T}$ exhibits strong enhancement near the chiral limit. The numerical results are in good agreement with available lattice QCD data and provide predictions for unmeasured quantities.
