Tiger Claw

Tiger Claw is a secondary antagonist in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He is a skilled assassin/bounty hunter from Japan who became one of Shredder's hench-mutants when Shredder came in search of recruits.

Official Description
"I was just a normal boy in Japan until the Kraang turned me into their greatest bounty hunter: half man, half tiger. My skills are so superior that Shredder has made me his second in command, and with good reason-I am nearly invincible! (Except that there's a bowl of skim milk around.)"

Early Life
Born in 1976 as a young Japanese boy, Takeshi and his sister Alopex were playing in a park when a portal to Dimension X was opened. Thinking it was a magic door, the two went through it and were subsequently captured. The two children were experimented on by The Kraang and splashed with Mutagen, causing him to mutate into a 6-and-1/2-foot-tall humanoid Bengal tiger with razor-sharp claws and teeth while sister mutated into a humanoid red fox. They escaped but because of their new appearance they were rejected and left their village resorting to performing as a circus animals before becoming a part of the criminal underworld becoming the most dreaded assassin and bounty hunter pair, feared throughout Asia. One day, Alopex turned on him and he lost his tail during the duel, and he has been relentlessly searching for his sister who took it from him, seeking to terminate her and when he finds her, it will probably be in a very gruesome way.
