Mokujin

Mokujin (木人, lit. "wood(en) person") is inspired by the Jackie Chan movie Shaolin Wooden Men. He is a wooden training dummy who comes to life in the presence of powerful evil. He has no fighting style of his own, and instead swaps between the fighting styles of the other characters featured in the game. At the beginning of a fight, Mokujin will assume another character's fighting style at random, and uses a wooden sword when he emulates Yoshimitsu, or a tail when emulating Roger. In this aspect, mastering Mokujin requires mastery of all the other Tekken characters' movesets.

Mokujin 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, but he had a smile on his face (stated in Mokujin's Tekken 5 Prologue). With the awakening of another powerful evil entity (Jinpachi Mishima), Mokujin has come to life once more, and it is said to be unknown that when Mokujin would be free. After the defeat of Jinpachi Mishima, Mokujin again became lifeless until Tekken 6.

He appears in the multi-company crossover game Cross Edge as a training dummy in the game's practice battle mode under the name Woodman.
