Roger's Wife is a character in the Tekken series. Although she is unnamed, and officially non-playable, when playing as her son Roger Jr., the player technically controls and fights as her instead. She and Roger met shortly after the second King of Iron Fist Tournament.

Story[]

Tekken 5[]

After Kazuya Mishima fell at the hands of Heihachi Mishima, 20 years ago, his experiments were able to escape from the Mishima Zaibatsu. Shortly after being entered into the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2, Roger married a female kangaroo and the two had a joey, Roger Jr.. All three then lived happily together in peace for some time.

One day Roger was kidnapped and taken away. His wife and son joined the fifth King of Iron Fist tournament to find Roger.[2]

Tekken 6[]

Roger's Wife and Roger Jr. found Roger, but he turned out to be living a life of luxury, unconcerned about his family. Roger's wife decided to divorce him and raise her son on her own. Life became financially difficult for them and they decided to enter the sixth King of Iron Fist Tournament for the money.[3]

Trivia[]

General:

  • Roger's Wife is referred to as "Roger Mama" in the Japanese version of the games.
  • According to Roger Jr.'s Tekken 6 prologue, Roger and Roger's Wife appear to have been 'married' in some capacity, to the point where Roger's wife can then decide to divorce Roger when he is uncaring of them.
  • It is stated that Roger met his wife after he was entered into the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2. It is unclear if they met in the Mishima Zaibatsu's testing lab, or after Roger had escaped.
    • It is possible that Roger's Wife is also an experiment, as there are no wild kangaroos in Japan and she also wears boxing gloves and has a high degree of intelligence.

Tekken 6:

  • She appears in Roger Jr.'s ending. Roger is teaching his son boxing moves when all of a sudden, his wife comes in and confronts him with a picture of him with other female kangaroos. She then uppercuts him up through the roof, much like her son did at the end of the fifth tournament.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2:

  • She appears in Roger Jr.'s ending. Roger's wife is eating with her son and Alex, when Roger secretly comes home with a bunch of flowers. On seeing how happy his family is without him, he hides and punches himself for his foolishness. All of a sudden, Alex busts the front door open, slamming Roger behind it. Roger's wife comes out and sees the flowers and note from Roger. She reads it and then eagerly looks around for him; sadly, Roger is still smashed behind the door.
