Hamato Clan

The Hamato Clan are the primary protagonist of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Franchise.
== Biography ==
The Hamato Clan was one of the oldest ninja clans in ancient Japan. At some point, a bitter feud between them and the Foot Clan developed and would lead to centuries of warfare. At a certain point in the late 20th century, the Hamato Clan would finish off the Foot Clan, rendering them functionally extinct, save for a lone survivor in the form of the infant Oruku Saki, who would be adopted by the leader of the Hamato Clan. Sixteen years ago, the Hamato Clan was on the verge of ending when the chosen heir in Hamato Yoshi was divided between leading the clan or starting a new life in the United States with his new family in Tang Shen and his daughter. However, betrayal would come when Oruku Saki would discover his origins and fully enraged by this and the loss of Tang Shen, exploited the decision to rebuild the Foot Clan, with most of the Hamato Clan defecting to join their former enemy. The conflict would see the patriarch and Tang Shen dead with Oruku Saki fleeing with Yoshi's daughter, Hamato Miwa and Yoshi presumed deceased. Yoshi fled to New York and a year later decided to adopt four pet turtles for company. Right as he left the pet store, he was trapped by strange men and splashed with Mutagen by accident. The small turtles eventually became anthropomorphic, while Yoshi, due to touching a rat last, mutated into a giant rat. He decided to adopt the four as his sons and train them in ninjutsu, carrying on the Hamato Clan's legacy. Fifteen years later, the Turtles go on their first mission and find the beginnings of an alien conspiracy. It would be the first of many adventures that would change the Hamato Clan forever.
