Mokujin
From the Tekken Wiki
Mokujin (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 mastery of all the other Tekken characters' movesets.

[edit] History
Mokujin was crafted from a 2,000 year old tree and seemingly comes to life whenever an evil arises.
[edit] 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.
[edit] Tekken TAGTournament
Tetsujin was also an alternate costume for Mokujin in this game.
Given that Ogre, Devil & Unknown are present in Tekken TAG, it is assumed that Mokujin arose again to stop them. Seeing as there are three evils to be stopped, this may explain why Tetsujin was also "activated".
The setting of Mokujin's ending is Forrest Law's second stage, where Mokujin, the player won the game with is leading a traditional kung fu routine with at least 40 other Mokujin.
[edit] Tekken 5
With the awakening of another powerful evil entity, 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.
