Tekken development chief Katsuhiro Harada revealed he tried and failed to have KFC mascot Colonel Sanders added to the fighting game as a guest character.

Katsuhiro Harada has shared his shocking opinion on making a Tekken Classic Collection.

Tekken development chief Katsuhiro Harada has long dreamed of adding Kentucky Fried Chicken’s founder-turned-mascot Colonel Sanders to the long-running fighting game. But according to Harada, KFC isn’t interested in the crossover.

A retro collection of Tekken games is unlikely, according to series producer Katsuhiro Harada. In an interview with TheGamer, Harada was asked if there was ever a possibility of a compilation consisting of classic Tekken games, much like the numerous retro fighting game collections Capcom releases.
