Who is Master Splinter?Mature, serious, and defensive, Hamato Yoshi was born in Japan, where he became a martial arts instructor and leader of his ninja clan. His skills were only rivaled by his fellow student Oroku Saki, Yoshi's adopted brother, who came from one of the rival clans that had been eliminated, the Foot Clan. As a human, he was a great and powerful Ninjutsu master. He trained from a young age, mastering his abilities, with strength, agility, speed, and endurance beyond that of any athlete. In America, an accident with a substance called Mutagen transformed him into an anthropomorphic rat, and his pet turtles underwent the same mutation, gaining humanoid bodies and intelligence. He took the name Splinter and gave the turtles the names of Renaissance painters and sculptors from an art book, taking on the role of father and teacher to the four heroic turtles. Later, he would encounter his old archenemy Oroku Saki, now going by the name Shredder, leading the Foot Clan. Exploring the Master Splinter statue:Ready for action, the wisest and most skilled anthropomorphic mutant rodent in New York fearlessly calls his opponents with the small index finger from his right hand, prepared to repel or attack with his staff positioned between his back and under his left arm, ready to be used like a Japanese Bo staff. A great master of Ninjutsu, dressed in his worn-out maroon kimono and black belt, the elderly brown-furred rat with long gray eyebrows rests his right leg on a pile of pizza boxes left by his adopted sons.
