Tetsujin
Contents
Introduction
Tetsujin appeared as an unlockable character in Tekken Tag Tournament, and did not return to any other Tekken game. Tetsujin is a metallic version of Mokujin, and like Mokujin, has no fighting style of his own. Instead, he chooses another playable character's fighting style and uses it. Tetsujin's fighting style changes after each round, and also when tagged out and back in. Unlike Mokujin, there is no female version of Tetsujin.
Trivia
- If the player wins 10 consecutive matches in Arcade Mode, Vs Mode or Survival Mode, Tetsujin will take on a golden appearance. In fact, it doesn't matter who you play as in Arcade Mode and Vs Mode. As long as you get the 10 consecutive wins, you will be able to select gold Tetsujin.
- Tetsujin's name written in kanji is "鉄人." When translated it literally means "iron man."
- Like Unknown, Tetsujin is a character that only appeared in Tekken Tag Tournament.
- Tetsujin can make a metal sound when hit by holding 'down' while the battle is loading.
- Mokujin can be customized to look like Tetsujin in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection.
- In Tekken 5 for the PS2, by using a action replay device, you can unlock what is presumed to be Tetsujin. He can also just be a beta mesh / model file, that Namco forgot to delete, since he looks like Mokujin, except he is colored a monotone silver.
- Choosing Tetsujin with RP or either kick button will give you Mokujin instead.
- Although it is not selectable in Theatre Mode, you can view Tetsujin's ending in his gold outfit by playing Arcade Mode as gold Tetsujin.
Story
Tetsujin makes his first and last appearance as a playable character in Tekken Tag Tournament. However, Tekken Tag Tournament is not a part of the Tekken series' canonical storyline.
Ending Animation
Mokujin and Tetsujin are practicing some Wushu-like moves 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, "Law-B".
