Background
2012 Animated series
Born in 1962 in the outskirts of Tokyo, Hamato Yoshi was heir to his father Yūta's place as leader of the peacekeeping Hamato Clan, whose conflict with the infamous Foot Clan came to an end when he was 2 years old. It was this victory that welcomed Oroku Saki, the Foot Clan leader Oroku Kaiji's infant son, into the Hamato family, and the two grew up as close brothers and very good friends, maintaining a peaceful intelect throughout their ninjutsu training. One day, however, their brotherhood suffered a huge strain when both men fell for a young woman of Chinese ancestry named Tang Shen, whose decision to marry Yoshi drove Saki into learning his true heritage and turn against the entire clan, corrupting few of it ninja into defecting as his first Foot ninja and attacking his adoptive brother in the house of Hamato. Their battle was long and hard.
In their rage, they destroyed the Hamato clan Dojo, and Shredder accidentally caused the death of Tang Shen. Saki, now called the Shredder, moved to Tokyo, taking Yoshi's daughter Miwa with him and renaming her Karai. Believing his daughter to be dead, Yoshi, now an outcast called Splinter, moved to New York City to start a new life. One day, Hamato became lonely, living alone, so he bought four baby turtles at a pet store. On his way home, a man accidentally bumped into him. Hamato thought something was "off" about the person, so he decided to investigate. While listening to the man have a conversation with another one, he stepped on a rat, causing the men (who are later revealed to be disguised Kraang) to hear him.
The men then fought Yoshi, and one of them dropped a canister of mutagen, which spilled. Yoshi lost balance during the fight, causing him to fall and drop the baby turtles. All 5 of them fell into the mutagen. Splinter mutated into a large humanoid rat because of his recent contact with one. The baby turtles became more humanoid and intelligent, due to having Splinter's human DNA on them prior to the mutation. Splinter raised the turtles as sons and trained them in the art of Ninjitsu as their sensei.
Unfortunately, after the Turtles met April O'Neil and saved her from a Kraang plot, one of their shurikens was discovered and shown on the news, revealing to Shredder that his nemesis Splinter was still alive. Having already established operations in the city through his protege Chris Bradford, Shredder soon arrived himself seeking to eliminate Splinter. Splinter would remain in the Turtles' Lair during much of the ensuing conflict between the Foot Clan and the Turtles, as well as the Turtles' battles with the Kraang, typically only serving as an advisor. After April was abducted by the Shredder, however, Splinter emerged from the lair and confronted his old nemesis, only to learn the truth about his lost daughter. Faced with Miwa, who had been raised believing that Shredder was her father and that Splinter had murdered her mother, Splinter fled.
Eventually Splinter revealed the truth about Karai to the Turtles to mixed reactions; Raph still refused to trust her while the others had hope to bring her to their side.
