Introduction

Mokujin is a character in the Tekken fighting game series. Mokujin has appeared in Tekken 3, Tekken Tag Tournament, Tekken 5, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, Tekken 6 and Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion.

Mokujin has no fighting style of his own. Instead, he chooses the fighting style of another character that is competing in the current tournament and uses it. Mokujin changes fighting styles after every round, although it will occasionally use the same fighting style two rounds in a row. In addition to this, Mokujin will mimic the pre-fight and win animations of whomever it is mimicking, but it will not make any sounds during them, because of its inability to speak.

Trivia

  • Mokujin's name is written in kanji as 木人, and literally means "person of wood", or simply "wooden person".
  • Mokujin's fighting style is actually called 木人拳 (Mokujin-ken, Wooden person fist).
  • Mokujin is the only character in Tekken 3 who does not face Heihachi Mishima at the end of Stage 4 (Mishima Fortress) in the Tekken Force side game. Instead, Mokujin will face Mokujin at the end of this stage.
  • Mokujin's bosses in the Tekken Force side game in Tekken 3 are all Mokujin.
  • Mokujin rivals in Tekken Card Challenge are Heihachi Mishima, Ling Xiaoyu and Jin Kazama.
  • Mokujin's sub-boss in Tekken 5 is Roger Jr..
  • Based on the interlude with Roger Jr., we can say that he has children.
  • In Tekken 3, Mokujin is available after beating the game four times.
  • If you select Mokujin and press and hold 'down' on the d-pad while the game is loading, the traditional sound, heard when getting hit, is switched with the sound of striking a block of wood. This applies for all games, though in Tekken 3, it sounds more like the "clicks" of wooden chimes.
  • Selecting Mokujin with with the kick buttons means playing as the female version of Mokujin.
  • Mokujin (alongside Jin Kazama in his non-devil form) was the only character in Tekken 5 not shown in the console opening.
  • Mokujin gets awoken by evil forces.
  • Mokujin only makes the sounds of wood knocking in its interludes, which is its form of communication.
  • In Tekken 6, whenever Mokujin is mimicking Yoshimitsu, along with adapting his sword, he will also adapt a scabbard, due to Yoshimitsu's new ability to sheathe his sword. In Tekken 5, he also adapts a tail when fighting as Roger Jr. (though in Tekken Tag Tournament, Mokujin lacks a tail, but can still use Roger's moves utilizing one.) In addition, in Tekken Tag Tournament, when using the moves of Kunimitsu, he will adapt her dagger. These rules also apply to Tetsujin, Unknown, and Combot.
  • Both of Mokujin's item moves, Butterflies and Exhaust Pipes, are activated during rage mode.
  • Mokujin makes a cameo appearence in the game, Point Blank 3.
  • When mimicking characters from the Mishima bloodline, instead of that lightning effect on impact he will show green leaves near his hands on impact.
  • In practice mode, theres a white dummy used to show combos, who looks like Mokujin.
  • In Tekken 5, Mokujin is unlocked by beating story mode or time trail 8 times.
  • In the Scenario Campaign of Tekken 6, Mokujin is a boss at the Subterranean Pavilion.
  • In the multi-company crossover game Cross Edge, Mokujin appears as a training dummy named Woodman

Story

Tekken 3

Gallery - Outfit

Tekken 3 Mokujin.

Mokujin is a training dummy made from a 2000 year old oak tree.

Mokujin has been kept in a museum for a long time, but when the God of Fighting (Ogre) awoke, it gained self-identity and started to act on its own. Some people say it is motivated by the desire to help martial artists, and only God and Mokujin know for sure.

Ending Animation "Upper Cut"

Mokujin receives an uppercut from a female version of Mokujin. Mokujin lands on his stomach. The female version of Mokujin throws a bucket on his back, and then she shakes her fist. Then, Mokujin is shown filling two buckets up with water from a lake. Mokujin walks back to the forest, carrying the two buckets filled with water. He sees two smaller Mokujin near a Tekken 3 arcade machine. One of them is playing the game, and the other one is just watching. Then, Mokujin starts playing. The two smaller Mokujin watch him play. He uses Mokujin (the male version), and he fights Mokujin (the female version). The male version of Mokujin (the one that Mokujin is using) wins the fight. Mokujin claps his hands. The female version of Mokujin, seen at the beginning of this video, appears behind him. Mokujin turns around, notices her, and he receives another uppercut.

Mokujin appears as a playable character in Tekken Tag Tournament, a non-canonical Tekken game.

Ending Animation

Mokujin and Tetsujin are practicing moves that is very identical to Northern Style Wushu with many other Mokujin. Mokujin, Tetsujin and the other Mokujin perform all of their moves in unison. This ending animation ends with Mokujin/Tetsujin and the Mokujin pointing at the screen. This ending takes place in Forest Law's second Tekken Tag Tournament stage, which is called "Law-B".


Tekken 5

Gallery - Outfit

Tekken 5 Mokujin.

Mokujin was a wooden dummy made from white oak that was used to train martial artists.

Mokujin started to move all of a sudden two years ago, but ceased moving after Ogre was defeated by Jin Kazama. When returned to the museum, Mokujin's face seemed to be smiling.

Once again, Mokujin has started to move upon the emergence of a powerful entity...

Will Mokujin ever be free?

Interludes

Stage 4: Roger Jr.

Mokujin meets Roger Jr. and his mother at the Waterfall. Mokujin asks if Roger's mother has seen any of its children. Roger's mother replies saying that she will help it if it beats her. Mokujin then states that she wouldn't be able to help, since she can't talk. Roger's mother states that she's the one who wears pants in the family. In the end, Mokujin defeats Roger Jr. apologizing for it and saying that something terrible lies at the end of this Tournament.

Note: After Mokujin wins its fight against Roger Jr., Mokujin's words and actions are very similar to Wang Jinrei's after Wang defeats Ling Xiaoyu in his Tekken 5 / Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Story mode but it could change to another interludes

Final Stage: Jinpachi Mishima

Mokujin walks through Final Stage 2. Jinpachi (in human form) walks up behind it and says, "I'm impressed that you've made it this far. I am Jinpachi Mishima. My goal... My goal is to destroy all existence!" Shortly after Jinpachi starts to speak, Mokujin turns around and notices him. After he finishes speaking, Jinpachi transforms into his "Devil" form.

Ending Animation

Mokujin has defeated Jinpachi. With the defeat of the force that awakened him, Mokujin falls to ground, lifeless. A column of light then shoots from the sky onto Mokujin, and a small leaf sprouts on his nose.

Mokujin is a training dummy made from a 2,000-year-old oak tree. Sensing evil's presence, Mokujin once again sets out to save the world.

Ending Animation

A woman is narrating what seems to be a fairytale like rendition of Mokujin's journey to defeating Azazel. It seemed light-hearted at first as it sees Mokujin "crossing mountains, oceans and deserts" all while driving a car. Finally he meets Azazel (referred to as the Dark Lord in this ending)and defeats him. In the end, the light-hearted tone of the ending was twisted. Mokujin is seen sitting on a throne with other Mokujin saluting him, a parody of Jin Kazama's Tekken 5 ending.
