'I was just a normal boy in Japan until the Kraang turned me into their greatest bounty hunter: half man, half tiger. When he makes a return in The Wrath of Tiger Claw, he is shown to be more powerful than ever - and now has a personal grudge against the Ninja Turtles, Splinter, April and Casey. He made his debut in the episode Wormquake!. He is a skilled assassin/bounty hunter from Japan who became one of Shredder's hench-mutants when Shredder came in search of recruits.
