Overview

Mokujin is a unique character who functions as a training dummy, copying the moves of other fighters. His unpredictability comes from his ability to mimic attacks from a random selection of characters, providing both a versatile move set and the potential for surprise. However, this randomness can also be a double-edged sword, as Mokujin lacks consistent attack patterns. This makes him a challenging fighter to master, requiring players to quickly adapt to his ever-changing abilities. Mokujin’s style is ideal for players who thrive on unpredictability and adaptability.

Lore

Mokujin is a living wooden puppet, originally created as a training tool by the mysterious and powerful Heihachi Mishima. Mokujin was designed to be used as a sparring partner for martial artists seeking to improve their fighting skills. As a result, Mokujin is a living embodiment of martial arts techniques, with the ability to mimic the fighting styles of other characters in the Tekken universe. IN Tekken 3 Mokujin was granted a form of sentience.
