Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) or just the Ninja Turtles (NT) are four bipedal humanoid turtles, Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael. They are guided by their sensei Splinter, who is a bipedal and humanoid rat, teaching them ninjtsu and various Japanese martial arts. Among their best Human friends are April O'Neil and Casey Jones.

The franchise was created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in November 1983, and the first TMNT comic was released by Mirage Studios in May 1984. Later, various TMNT cartoons, comics and films have also been produced.
