According to the game's director, Katsuhiro Harada, the reason why Roger Jr. didn't make it into Tekken 7 was due to the controversy regarding Greig Tonkins, who punched a kangaroo to rescue his dog during a trip in Australia. Bandai Namco later faced huge backlash from PETA, who petitioned to have Roger Jr. removed from all western versions of the game entirely.
