Tekken’s Katsuhiro Harada destroys Twitter user after being called racist
Tekken producer and big boss Katsuhiro Harada got his rage drive on on Twitter after a Twitter user called him a racist for not adding in more black characters in the Tekken games including the upcoming Tekken 8.
The story goes that a certain Twitter user named @TimTiger16 aired his grievance over the fact that the Tekken character Eddy Gordo has not been announced in Tekken 8’s roster is because the Tekken producers are racists and don’t care about black characters or dark skinned characters. The user also assumed that it would take awhile before the “real fighters” come out and dissed the whites, asians and latin characters appearing in Tekken 8.
Harada did not take this sitting down and wrote a lengthy reply to the Twitter user, who seems to be a troll account if I’m being honest. Harada went on to mention active Tekken characters appearing in Tekken 8 including Leroy Smith and Raven.

Harada also cited that growing up he never really saw a lot of Japanese characters in the American movies and dramas that he saw and loved but never felt any discrimination about the lack of representation. He then ended his tweet by stating that the OP was delusional and that his argument doesn’t make sense even in an emotional level.
