Hamato Splinter Yoshi

Description

Master Splinter is the sensei and adoptive father of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the Mirage Studios comics. A rat who belonged to ninjutsu practitioner Hamato Yoshi in Japan, he learned martial arts by observing his master's movements. Mutated by radioactive ooze in the same incident that transformed the four turtles, he named his sons after Renaissance artists and trained them in ninjutsu with the goal of avenging his fallen master.
