Tetsujin (鉄人? ; literally meaning "Iron person"), is a character in the Tekken series who has only playable in Tekken Tag Tournament and is unlockable. He is also in Tekken Revolution and Tekken (Mobile) as unplayable boss character. Whereas Mokujin is constructed of wood, Tetsujin is constructed from metal.

Story

Tekken Tag Tournament

To pick Tetsujin in Arcade mode, one must go all the way to the left on the bottom row of characters. Tetsujin/Mokujin will be in the invisible box to the left of Wang.

Given that Ogre, Devil and Unknown are present in Tekken Tag Tournament, it is assumed that Mokujin arose again to stop them. Seeing as there are three evil forces to be stopped, this may explain why Tetsujin was also "activated".

Tekken Tag Tournament - Tetsujin Ending HD

Ending Description: Tetsujin's ending is the same as Mokujin's, where Tetsujin is training many other Mokujins.

Tekken Revolution

Tetsujin returns, for the first time since Tekken Tag Tournament, as the second strongest sub-boss in the game. He plays the same as Mokujin, but gives more rewards, though not as much as Kinjin.

Tekken (Mobile)

Tetsujin appears on July 11, 2018 as the boss character in the special live events and it's featured act in the Story Mode.

Other Appearances

Project X Zone 2

Tetsujin is a training dummy in the training room of Project X Zone 2.

Gameplay

He shares the same style as Mokujin, Mimicry, as he is just a metallic palette swap of him. At the start of a round, Tetsujin will randomly select the fighting style of another tournament participant and adopt this style as his own. A new style is chosen at the start of each round, although it is possible for a fighting style to be carried over to the next round.

In Tekken Revolution, Mokujin, Tetsujin, and Kinjin all use a customized moveset belonging to multiple characters and is more similar to a customized Combot than copying a single character.

Trivia

General:

  • If the player wins ten matches in Versus mode with Tetsujin, he turns to gold.
  • In Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and onward, Mokujin can be customized to look identical to Tetsujin, with Tekken 6 allowing Mokujin to be customized to actually become the silver and gold versions of Tetsujin.
  • In Tekken 8, a Tetsujin avatar skin is available as a pre-order bonus for Playstation 5 players.
  • In Tekken 5 for the PS2, by using an action replay device, the player can unlock what is presumed to be Tetsujin. It could also be a beta mesh/model file that Namco forgot to delete, since it resembles Mokujin but with a white texture. This dummy also appears in Practice Mode when a demo of a character's move is played, as the character is demonstrating their move on the dummy. It will mimic its opponent's fighting style.
    • Regardless of which character was selected, if this dummy is used, Paul Phoenix's picture will be displayed on the vs screen.

Tekken (Mobile)

  • Tetsujin's featured act is Iron to Gold, a reference to his iron appearance.
  • Unlike Mokujin who drops gems as a boss character in the live events, Tetsujin drops gold coins even in Story Mode.
  • Tetsujin's fighting stance and moves are from Nina Williams as both his pre-fight and win animation are reused animations from Nina.
  • Silver dummies similar to Tetsujin can be found as enemies in the Subterranean Pavilion stage of Tekken 6's Scenario Campaign.
