==Summary==
The mutant rat, mentor, and adoptive father to four ninja turtles known as Splinter had his beginnings in Japan as one Hamato Yoshi, growing up with Oroku Saki, both training in the art of Ninjutsu. While they grew up as friends and brothers, things changed when they both fell in love with a woman named Tang Shen, which transformed their friendship into a bitter rivalry. Shen chose Yoshi out of the two, and gave birth to a daughter, Miwa.
Their time together would not last, as Saki, after learning of his true heritage and rebuilding the Foot clan, and overwhelmed with anger and jealousy, burned down their house, and a blow that was originally meant for Yoshi struck Tang Shen instead, ending her life, and in those flames, he took the still infantile Miwa away from her father.
After this ordeal, Yoshi left Japan, and came to reside in New York City. On one fateful day, he bought four turtles, and as he walked, he stumbled into a mysterious man, trailing after him into an alley way. Eavesdropping on an exchange over a canister of ooze, he then provoked a rat, which ended up dropping his cover and instigating a fight. While Yoshi was able to defeat the men, the ooze canister broke, covering Splinter and his four turtles in it and causing all five of them to mutate, Splinter in particular becoming a giant rat.
For the next 15 years, he raised his four turtles as his sons in the sewers under New York, naming them after four artists of the Renaissance, and trained each of them in Ninjutsu, so that when the day comes that they want to leave the lair and explore the surface, they would be prepared for the dangers that lurk above.
