Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Oroku Saki, better known as Shredder, is the main antagonist in most iterations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. He is the leader of the Foot Clan, a criminal organization steeped in ninjutsu. Shredder is depicted as a ruthless and skilled martial artist, consumed by a desire for power and revenge.

Shredder's origins vary across different versions of the TMNT story, but often involve a rivalry with Hamato Yoshi, the Turtles' sensei. He is often presented as the one responsible for Yoshi's exile or death, fueling the Turtles' animosity towards him.

The cartoon version of the character first appears in the cartoon series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 1987. His appearance is typically defined by his bladed armor, particularly the metal claws extending from his shoulders and forearms, giving him his distinctive "shredding" look. He is a constant threat to the Turtles, consistently plotting their demise and seeking to dominate New York City.
