TMNT: Yokai World

**TMNT: Yokai World** is a fanfiction and fan-made cartoon show made by delilahmonclova18. It focuses on April O'Neil, a 16-year-old high school student who has to balance her normal life and her life as a Yokai Guardian in-training in order to keep peace between the Human World and the Yokai World below.

## Premise

The yokai has been living among the humans for centuries. Mostly living in the Hidden World as well as hidden in plain sight through their human disguises. April O'Neil, an Afro-Japanese girl living in modern day New York City, seems like a normal 16-year-old high school student who goes to school and hanging out with her friends. But her life is anything but normal. As a member of the Murai Clan (which is also her mother's last name before marrying April's father), she is born with mystic powers and she uses it to maintain peace and balance between the Human World above and the Yokai World below. Because of this, many yokai would try to eliminate her. But April isn't alone. Along with her friends, the Turtles, they go on many adventures between the two worlds while dealing with their enemies of all shapes and sizes. All the while trying to keep good grades and dealing with typical teenage problems that would cause April some trouble.
