Mickey Rogers

Mickey Rogers (ミッキー・ロジャース) is a character in the Art of Fighting series of fighting games. Mickey was a character controlled by the CPU in the first game and made playable in the second game. It's unknown if his name was inspired by the Disney character, but in his Art of Fighting 2 stage, there is a poster depicting someone wearing a Mickey Mouse hat. Like John Crawley, Mickey gets a haircut between his two appearances. In the first AOF, Mickey has long hair, worn in dreadlocks. In AOF2, he has short hair. He was voiced by Kay Inage.

Story
Mickey was a professional boxer, but was expelled from the ranks after he accidentally killed a man in the ring. He currently stalks Southtown seeking opponents to vent his anger and frustration on, and enters the King of Fighters tournament for the same reason. In Art of Fighting, Mickey becomes a small time hood who works for Mr. Big so that he can get money as a street hustler. in Art of Fighting 2, Mickey has since reformed, wanting to get back into the professional boxing circuit.

In Mickey's AOF2 ending, his trainer Pops (who is visible in Mickey's stage as well) informs him that his time has come, and he has a title bout. We then see Mickey training for the fight, confident that 'Mickey the Mauler' is going to be the next champion of the world.

Mickey is a proud champion that loves boxing. Although he did work for Mr. Big, he isn't an evil person. He is a fighter at heart and won't refuse a challenge.
