Roger is the name of two playable characters in the Tekken fighting game series. Both of whom are boxing kangaroos and father and son to each other. The original Roger (who first appeared in Tekken 2) is a genetically engineered kangaroo with the ability to fight (as well as being uppercuted though roofs). Roger Jr., his son, replaces the original Roger from Tekken 5 onwards.

History 
Edit
Kazuya Mishima took over the Mishima Zaibatsu from his father Heihachi. The Zaibatsu became more corrupt than ever under Kazuya's leadership and engaged in many illegal activities such as assassination, extortion, drug dealing and the smuggling of species. Kazuya also recruited Doctor Boskonovitch to work for him. One of the projects he was commanded to work on was creating genetically engineered creatures. Through Boskonovitch, modified animals were created with DNA samples. Roger was created from Kangaroo DNA, whereas Alex was created using DNA from Dromaeosaurid fossil samples.
Tekken 2 Edit
Kazuya thought that Roger and Alex were worthless creations, and wanted to kill them. However, Roger and Alex managed to escape. They then met Armor King, who taught them to wrestle. Both Alex and Roger enter to fight in the Second Iron Fist Tournament.
Jun Kazama, a member of the wildlife protection organization WWWC, infiltrates the second Iron Fist Tournament to arrest Kazuya, who is smuggling and experimenting on endangered species. She found Roger and Alex and quickly arranged for them to live out their lives in Australia, where they would be safe.
Tekken 5 Edit
20 years later, Roger was kidnapped and taken away. Roger Jr. and his mother joined The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 to find Roger and, after a long struggle, they found him. But Roger was living the easy life, unconcerned about his family. Roger Jr. became shocked and angered at the sight of seeing his dad relaxing and uppercuts him through the roof.
Tekken 6 Edit
After the tournament, life became hard for Roger Jr. and his mother. Shortly thereafter, The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 was announced, and Roger Jr. and his mother decided to join the tournament in search of victory and financial security. In the end, Roger is teaching his son boxing moves when all of a sudden, Roger's Wife comes in and confronts Roger with a picture of him with other female kangaroos. As a result, she uppercuts him up through the roof like last time.
