What is the name of the boxing kangaroo in Tekken?

The boxing kangaroo in Tekken is named Roger. He is one of the series’ comic-relief characters: an anthropomorphic kangaroo trained by the military and equipped with boxing-style attacks, powerful punches, and springing kicks.

Roger first appeared in Tekken 2 alongside Alex, a dinosaur-like character with a similar moveset. Both were created as experimental and humorous additions to the roster, contrasting with the more serious martial artists and Mishima family drama that dominate the series. Roger’s design also plays on the familiar pop-culture image of the boxing kangaroo.

The name can become confusing because the franchise later introduced Roger Jr., the child of the original Roger. Roger Jr. is also a kangaroo fighter, but the original character’s name—and the standard answer to this question—is simply Roger. Alex is another common wrong choice because he debuted beside Roger and shares several attacks.

Roger appeared in Tekken 2, Tekken Tag Tournament, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, Tekken 6, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and other related releases. His presence helped establish Tekken’s tradition of unusual animal fighters.
