For supporting characters see List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters :
* Leonardo (Blue bandanna and katanas) — The courageous leader and devoted student of martial arts. He is the eldest of the four and the most skilled of the four. Leonardo wears a blue mask and wields two katanas. Leonardo was named after the Italian polymath, scientist, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor: Leonardo Da Vinci.
* Donatello (Purple bandanna and bō) — The brilliant scientist, inventor, engineer, and technological genius. He is perhaps the least violent Turtle, preferring to use his intellect to solve conflicts. He wears a purple mask and wields the bōstaff. He is the second eldest of the four. He is named after the sculptor Donatello.
* Raphael (Red bandanna and sai) — The team's bad boy, he has an aggressive nature and seldom hesitates to throw the first punch. He is an intense fighter. His personality can be alternately fierce and sarcastic, and oftentimes delivers deadpan humor. Still, he is intensely loyal to his brothers and sensei. He is good friends with Casey Jones, after having to meet him one night on patrol and challenging him to a fight. The two have since frequently patrolled together. Raphael wears a red mask and wields a pair of sai. He is the third eldest of the four. He is named after the Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance, Raphael Sanzio.
* Michelangelo (Orange bandanna and nunchaku) — The easy-going and free-spirited Mikey provides much of the comic relief. While he loves to relax, this Turtle also has an adventurous and creative side. He wears an orange mask and wields nunchaku. He is the youngest of the four. He is named after Michelangelo Buonarroti. His name was originally misspelled "Michaelangelo" by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman – at the time they were using a typewriter and did not own a dictionary. As of the 2007 CGI movie, Michelangelo's sense of humor has been toned down considerably, and it's implied in dialogue between Leonardo and Michelangelo that Leonardo had previously warned his brother about his sometimes-insensitive humor.
* Master Splinter — The Turtles' sensei and adoptive father, Splinter is a mutant rat who learned the ways of ninjutsu from his own master, Hamato Yoshi. In the 1987 series, Splinter was Hamato Yoshi himself mutated into a rat.
* Shredder — A villainous ninjutsu master called Oroku Saki. In every incarnation of the TMNT franchise, he has been the archenemy of Splinter and the Turtles. Shredder prefers to use his armor instead of weapons. He is also the leader of the Foot Clan.
* April O'Neil — A former lab assistant to the mad scientist Baxter Stockman, April is the plucky human companion of the Turtles. April first met up with the Turtles when they saved her from Baxter's Mouser robots. She embarks on many of the Turtles' adventures and aids them by doing the work that the Turtles themselves cannot do in public. In the 1987 series, and subsequent three films, April was a television news reporter.
* Casey Jones — A vigilante who has become one of the Turtles' closest allies. Casey first met up with the Turtles after having a fight with Raphael. Casey fights crime with an assortment of sporting goods (baseball bats, golf clubs, hockey sticks, cricket bat etc.) while wearing a hockey mask to protect his identity.
* Krang — An extremely intelligent villain from another world known as Dimension X. He took command of an army of Rock Soldiers under the leadership of General Traag, and stole the Technodrome, a powerful battle fortress, from its creator Drakus. One day, an unexplained, bizarre incident occurred that caused Krang to be stripped of his body and reduced to a brain-like form, also resulting in his exile from Dimension X to Earth, along with his army and the Technodrome. He allied himself with Shredder.
* Bebop and Rocksteady — Once human, the pair was mutated by Shredder into monsters in order to get revenge on the Turtles. Bebop was mutated into a human warthog, and Rocksteady into a human rhinoceros. The two act as Shredder's bodyguards and henchmen, and they are mainly used as comic relief.
