Mokujin (木人, Mokujin^?) (pinyin: Mù Rén) (meaning literally "wood person") is a character in the Tekken fighting game series inspired by the Jackie Chan movie Shaolin Chamber of Death. He is a wooden training dummy who comes to life at the presence of powerful evil. He has no fighting style of his own, and instead swaps between the fighting styles of the other characters. At the beginning of a fight, Mokujin will assume another character's fighting style at random. In this aspect, mastering Mokujin requires knowledge of the other Tekken characters' movesets.

History

Tekken 3

Mokujin, a wooden combat training doll made from a 2,000 year-old oak tree, was awakened when Ogre, the God of Fighting, was released. After Jin Kazama defeated Ogre in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, Mokujin grew lifeless once more.

Tekken Tag Tournament

The setting of Mokujin's ending is Forrest Law's second stage, where Mokujin, the player won the game with (according to the costume selection, including Tetsujin), is leading a traditional kung fu routine with at least 40 other Mokujin.

Tekken 5

With the awakening of another powerful evil entity (Jinpachi Mishima), Mokujin has come to life once more. In Mokujin's Tekken 5 ending, Mokujin defeats Jinpachi, and Jinpachi turns into dust aftwerwards. Because of Jinpachi's death, Mokujin becomes lifeless once more and falls to the ground. Dark clouds move across the sky, a small beam of light hits Mokujin's nose, and a small leaf sprouts up from Mokujin's nose.

Description

Where as Mokujin is constructed of wood (Mokujin means "man made of wood"), Tetsujin is constructed of metal. Both characters use the fighting styles of the other characters, and they both switch fighting styles between each round. On Namco's official site, this style is referred to as "Mokujin-ken", for Mokujin. For Tetsujin, when Tetsujin's "Command List" is viewed, instead of Tetsujin's moves, "Tetsujin-Ken" will be the only thing there.
