Leonardo, nicknamed Leo, is a fictional superhero and 1 of the iv main characters in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and related media. He is the oldest of his four brothers, besides every bit their commander and tactical advisor.[2] [3]

He is oft depicted wearing a blueish bandanna. His signature weapons are two ninjatō, commonly confused every bit katana. Leonardo is the eldest blood brother and the leader of the group. He is the nearly skilled, the about serious, the nearly spiritual, the most mature, the nearly disciplined and the most in-line with Splinter'southward teachings and thoughts. Like all of the brothers, he is named after an Italian Renaissance artist, in this case Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci is widely considered the nearly diversely skilled individual of the Renaissance period, and as such Leonardo is besides considered the virtually diversely skilled ninja turtle. In the Mirage comics, all four of the Turtles wear blood-red masks, but for the creators to tell them apart, he was written and redrawn to have an ocean-blue mask.

Comics [edit]

Delusion [edit]

Leonardo is depicted equally the main protagonist of the turtles. He never explicitly referred to himself as leader in the early on stories, except in result #44 ("The Violent Underground"). He is the one to unremarkably accept accuse of the turtles when Master Splinter is not present. He is often at odds with his more hot-headed younger brother Raphael.

In Leonardo #i, Leonardo goes out for a run on the rooftops of New York Urban center and is ambushed by the Foot Clan. He puts up an admirable fight against an regular army of Foot Ninja, just is eventually overwhelmed. Beaten to nigh unconsciousness, he is thrown through April O'Neil'southward flat window. The remaining Turtles and Splinter are forced to proceed the fight, only even with the assist of Casey Jones, the odds are against them. In the cease, the building catches fire and the police get in, but they secretly escape to Northampton. During this time, Leonardo recovers from his physical wounds. However, he lost a great bargain of confidence. He repeatedly attempts, unsuccessfully, to hunt for deer. While out hunting, he sees April fall through ice into a lake, and he rescues her. In subsequent issues, it is implied that Leonardo has regained most of his confidence.

In the Return to New York storyline (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (vol. 1) #nineteen-21), Raphael demands that the Turtles return to New York to face up the Foot Association and the Shredder. He accuses Leonardo of cowardice, and the arguing brothers soon come to blows. Leonardo is beaten by Raphael, who throws Leonardo through the wall of the barn and leaves lonely. Along with his younger brother Donatello and his youngest brother Michelangelo, Leonardo returns to New York and reunites with his wayward brother in the one-time sewer lair. The three become forth with Raphael'due south plan to storm the Foot Headquarters, where once once more Raphael goes off on his own to fight the Shredder. However, he is ambushed and beaten by the Shredder's Elite guard, merely is rescued by Leonardo. This prompts Raphael to finally cede to Leonardo's leadership, leaving him to fight the Shredder. Leonardo engages in a bloody battle with Shredder that spills out onto the rooftop of the building. Leonardo ends the battle by decapitating the Shredder just every bit the building implodes. The Turtles later on burn the Shredder's corpse in a funeral pyre in a nearby Manhattan harbor.

Leonardo captured by Karai on the comprehend of issue #57 (art past A. C. Farley)

In the City at War storyline (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (vol. i) #50-62), a feud betwixt various factions of the Foot Clan over leadership breaks out. As fighting ensues in the streets of New York, the Turtles and the civilian populace get caught in the middle. Leonardo grows weary of constant battle with the Human foot Clan and seems fraught with indecision. The Turtles are approached by Karai, the leader of the Pes Clan in Nippon who has come to New York to unite the Pes. She presents the Turtles with an offer of a truce between the Foot and the Turtles if they help her kill Shredder'south Aristocracy Guards, which are a major obstacle to her reorganizing the Foot. Despite Raphael's objections, Leonardo persuades his brothers to accept Karai's offer and all four Turtles successfully work with Karai to eliminate the Elite Baby-sit.

In Book two of the Delusion Studios comic, the turtles begin living in dissever places. Leonardo decides to live in a newfound sewer lair. Michelangelo and Raphael notice a change in Leonardo and note that he seems more than easygoing, though Raphael points out that his and Leonardo's natural society is to exist "buttin' heads."

Years later in Volume 4, Leonardo still leads his brothers (all four now in their thirties) in fights against crime. Leonardo and Raphael's conflict seems to have greatly lessened. When the Utroms make a very public inflow on World and reveal alien life to humans, however, the Turtles become free to mingle in everyday order. The Turtles also assist the Utroms acclimate to life on Earth and work alongside the Foot Association as security. One Pes Clan member is Cha Ocho, who Leonardo has a rivalry with due to an encounter years earlier. Karai approaches Leonardo for assist when a mysterious force begins attacking various Foot Clans; just the New York co-operative is left intact. His investigation takes him to the Battle Nexus, where he meets Oroku Yoshi (who wears armor like to the Shredder's).

This incarnation of Leonardo makes an appearance in the Turtles Forever crossover special voiced past Jason Griffith.

Image Comics [edit]

In Volume 3 of the Image Comics series, Leonardo was initially portrayed as like to his Mirage analogue (at the time, Image was picking up where Volume ii left off). In the later issues, he lost a hand when information technology was eaten by King Komodo, although this did non seem to deter him significantly. He tried initially to use a prosthetic hand, which was given to him by Donatello, only he much preferred to wear a steel cap which came with a retractable blade. In the official IDW-published determination, TMNT Urban Legends 25, subsequently an atmospherics with Lady Shredder which smashed his steel cap beyond use, Leonardo's hand was institute to take grown back.

Archie Comics [edit]

The Archie Comics series initially began equally an adaptation of 1987 animated series, so Leonardo was naturally portrayed like his animated analogue. Equally the series progressed, it began telling original stories. Leonardo demonstrated a rather strong dislike for firearms. Also, a future version of Leonardo was depicted, having founded a ninja school. Four of his top students were depicted: Nobuko, perchance his love interest; Miles, a immature blackness human being; Carmen, a Latina adult female and maybe his love interest; and Bob, an anthropomorphic baboon. These students seemed to take an "extended family" relationship with the Turtles, Bob in particular referring to them as uncles.

IDW Comics [edit]

Although the IDW series is a complete comic re-imagination of the franchise, Leonardo is initially portrayed as similar to his Mirage counterpart. Leonardo is the eldest brother and the leader of the four. In the Cityfall saga, he gets captured past the Foot while he and his brothers endeavour to salve Casey and is taken to a Shinto witch by the name of Kitsune, who uses her potent night magic to educate him into working for Shredder as his chunin (second-in-command), which infuriates Karai. He is later saved past his brothers and their allies, however, subsequently the decease of the Shredder at the hands of his father, Splinter, who took over the Foot Association later the boxing, Leo one time once more became the chunin, just, like last time, it didn't last. The human relationship between Splinter and his sons deteriorated after he decided to take another life, going against the very philosophy he taught them to always follow. He revealed that this was, in fact, an intentional way of pushing them away from him, as he believes existence around him would be too much of a threat to them, as shown during the events of the comic book. Leonardo causeless leadership over the Clan Hamato, and since then, they've come up into conflict with the Pes Clan several times.

Tv set [edit]

1987 animated serial [edit]

In the 1987 Television set series' theme song lyrics, Leonardo is said outright to exist the leader of the TMNT, and there is little disputing this; his orders are usually followed, and he is a very serious practise-gooder who inappreciably ever makes wise cracks. He was attracted to a young kunoichi named Lotus, a swordswoman prodigy from Japan who was hired past Krang to replace Shredder, whom she easily defeated (along with Rocksteady and Bebop). She and Leonardo dueled to a standstill earlier she resorted to a trick sword to knock him out. When they met the second fourth dimension, she tried to convince him to join her as "ninja for rent", just he refused. She turned on Krang and escaped to proceed her mercenary lifestyle, telling Leonardo that there was niggling expert in goodness, though she hoped that they would one solar day exist on the same side.

Leonardo takes his role of being a leader very seriously. However he tin be very snobby which annoys his brothers. Generally they will obey, sometimes they won't. In a Season 4 episode "Leonardo lightens up", his brothers got so annoyed that they used a personality alternator to make him loosen up, which pb into huge problems, just ended up going dorsum to normal in the end.

When the cartoon series starts out, he is shown with having a very level caput, akin to his leadership qualities in the comic. However, equally the series carried on, he became more of a hero of a group of superheroes and spoke in a loftier pitched vocalization, which was very different from the original, deeper pitch in the first season.

Leonardo besides seems to savour reading. For example, many times when the Turtles are at dwelling, Leo is reading a book. In the episode 4 Musketurtles, he is the only Turtle that read The Three Musketeers. Another good case is in "Leonardo is Missing"; while the other Turtles go to an arcade, Leonardo stays at the lair and reads. In the Season half dozen episode "Snakes Live", it is revealed that Leonardo has Ophidiophobia, simply confronted it later.

In the Season three episode "Take Me to Your Leader!", Leonardo gives up his leadership and walks away after a dream he believes convinces him he is no longer a good leader. The others have to find him, and end Shredder, Krang, and Bebop and Rocksteady from draining energy from the Lord's day with a Solar Siphon and store it in solar batteries. Withal, Leonardo returns when he spots a bridge collapsing due to snow. Afterwards a homo says that everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything, Leonardo realizes his responsibility and begins to search for his brothers. He later finds them, and together they save the Earth.

Leonardo's voice actor was Cam Clarke, in the thespian's "breakout part" and is nevertheless i of his best-known roles in the 1987 cartoon. In the crossover film Turtles Forever, this version of Leonardo is voiced past Dan Green. Leonardo also made a couple of appearances in the 2012 serial in the episode, The Manhattan Project. He and the other turtles forth with Casey and April are seen through a portal by their 2012 counterparts walking on a road and he made a speaking cameo along with the other turtles at the end of the episode when a space worm from the 2012 dimension started terrorizing the street. All four turtles see the worm and bound into action while shouting their famous catchphrase, 'Cowabunga'. Cam Clarke reprised his office every bit Leonardo for the cameo. This would marker the first fourth dimension in over 28 years the 1987 TMNT bandage would return to their roles, with the sole exception of Rob Paulsen who returned to the TMNT franchise as Donatello in the 2012 serial. The 1987 turtles then had a crossover with the 2012 turtles in the flavour iv episode, "Trans-Dimensional Turtles" and so in the three part series final "Wanted: Bebop & Rocksteady".[five]

Coming Out of Their Shells tour [edit]

The live action "Coming Out of Their Shells" concert bout kickoff event at Radio City Music Hall would see Leonardo bandage equally the band's bass player, taking a secondary role while Michelangelo would take the role of lead vocalizer and guitarist. All the same, in one case the Turtles are confronted by the Shredder and his forces during portions of the bear witness, Leonardo again takes his role as the Turtles' battlefield commander, as they begin to defer to his orders during the diverse fight scenes in the prove. Cam Clarke would reprise Leonardo's voice during not-musical segments of the show, though the VHS record of the event leaves him uncredited.

1997 live-action series [edit]

In 1997-1998, Leonardo along with the other Ninja Turtles were featured in a brusk-lived live-action serial Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation, as well as a crossover episode with Power Rangers in Space. In it, he carried one double bladed ninjaken instead of two and his sibling rivalry with Raphael drove many episodes. In one episode where they were sparring, Raphael took advantage of Leo's apparent physical weakening, insulting, mocking and taunting his brother to brand him more reckless, until finally Leo lost his atmosphere and angrily kicked Raph so hard that he sent Raph flying across the sewer den. They spent the residual of the episode arguing and challenging each other to tests of skill (some of them quite absurd) until finally using arm wrestling to determine who would live in the sewer and who would leave. Although Leo won, it was decided that Raph should stay. In this series, Leonardo was portrayed by Gabe Khouth and voiced by Michael Dobson.

2003 animated serial [edit]

In the Delusion Studios and 4Kids Entertainment 2003 animated TV series, Leonardo is voiced past Michael Sinterniklaas in the English version, Tetsuya Kakihara in the Japanese version, and Samuel Harjanne (seasons 1 and 2) and Markus Blom in the Finnish version. Leonardo is the eldest brother, and leader of the group, serenity and the about serious of the 4. He has a very close bond with Splinter, and has a strong sense of laurels, ideals, and Bushidō. Leonardo's twin swords are slung across his back. Episodes that deal with the Shredder and honor normally besides focus on Leonardo, and he is often the Turtle who "saves the solar day". Leonardo is a more self-doubting character than in previous incarnations. His younger brother Raphael ofttimes quarrels with him and resents his leadership, sarcastically calling Leonardo "Fearless Leader", although the two are shown to exist very close at times. Though Leonardo's relationships with his younger brothers Donatello and Michelangelo are non as volatile, both accept made comments alluding to the high standards the former has gear up, and his tendency to make them look bad. Despite this, his brothers view him every bit a pillar of strength and are at a loss when he is injured or absent. One of Leonardo's most prominent qualities is his determination to believe in the good and the best in people, even potential enemies; such as Karai.

At times, Leonardo is shown to be very difficult on himself, as he feels that a lot is expected of him. As in the Mirage comics, Leonardo is ambushed and seriously injured by the Foot Clan and he feels he let his family and himself down. He has the same feelings later the concluding boxing with the Shredder-his acrimony and self-doubtfulness was caused by Karai, who he believed was an honorable ally, simply she was unable to become confronting her chief's orders, somewhen causing her to stab Leonardo (albeit unintentionally). Leonardo also feels extremely inadequate, equally he believes that over again, he permit himself and his family down, this time past finding no other way to destroy the Shredder than to blow up the spaceship that both the Turtles and the Shredder were on; the Turtles and Splinter would take perished if they had not been rescued by Utroms. Eventually, Leonardo finds inner peace under the guidance of the Ancient One, who trained Splinter'south sensei, Hamato Yoshi. From their last battle with the Shredder, Leonardo was the only Turtle to sustain truly lasting damage; part of his trounce on his upper left shoulder had its edge shorn. Nevertheless, he is the most skilled of the Turtles, being the only 1 trained past two ninja masters, capable of facing and defeating Karai, the new Shredder, in a ane-on-one fight, as well as defeating all three of his brothers at once in a sparring match.

Through much of the quaternary season, while the other turtles are fully healed and recovered from their boxing with the Shredder, Leonardo still could not become over his failure. He becomes bitter and increasingly stern with himself and adopts a greatly aggressive personality, which has been likened to Raph'southward previous impulsive and hotheaded ways on many occasions. Leonardo also shows considerably less reluctance in using violence to interrogate people, and devotes himself to even greater lengths of training in guild to protect his family. Non wanting his family to worry nearly him, Leonardo chose to never tell them nigh his truthful feelings about their final battle against the Shredder, although he open up up to April and Usagi well-nigh his problems. However, Leonardo ended upwardly making his brothers worry for him anyway and Splinter feels he must move on. It comes to a head when Leonardo loses his temper and nearly causes Splinter a serious injury during a training session. Leonardo was sent by Splinter to find Primary Yoshi's own sensei, The Ancient One, since in that location is nothing more he could do for his troubled son. Leonardo encounters a strange brusque man, as well as obstacles that echo his ain anger. In the end, Leonardo admits that he was angry over failing his family while fighting the Shredder and that his only choice was to self-destruct the send to stop him. Leonardo comes to terms with his anger, accepting he did every thing in his power, and begins preparation under the short man, who turns out to exist the Ancient I. Leonardo only leaves when he learns that his family is in danger, a effect of Karai'south vengeance, which destroys the lair and presumably eliminates them. Leonardo returns to the city, reunites his family unit in a safety location, and confronts Karai. He defeats her, but after Karai tells him to finish her, he refuses. Leo magnanimously gives her one terminal chance to leave the Turtles in peace, believing there is still good in her.

In the fifth season, of the viii acolytes under the Tribunal'due south training, Leonardo is the only 1 who doesn't receive a weapon from the Spirit Forge. It is implied that his spirit is his weapon, and annihilation he holds is but an extension. (This was hinted at in previous seasons.) His otherworldly form is that of a dragon, a rare form, unheard of in someone his age. It is shown destroying evil guarding the second antiquity. This avatar is showtime shown in "More Worlds Than One". His brothers later showroom dragon avatars likewise. In the 5th episode "Beginning of the Cease", he is given the sword "Gunjin" (one of the Fangs of the Dragon that commands the "White Flame of the Dragon King") by the wounded Faraji, who believes the sword was meant to be Leo'due south. Leo returns Gunjin in episode 12 "Enter the Dragons" when Faraji returns to help battle the Tengu Shredder, because he believes the sword truly belongs to Faraji.

In the Fast Forward season, and the Back to the Sewers flavour, the damage that occurred to Leonardo's crush as stated to a higher place has somehow been repaired.

Leonardo is trained non just by Master Splinter but the Ancient 1 himself, Hamato Yoshi'southward trainer and adoptive father. From then on, Leonardo is far more than experienced and skillful at even more than complex ninjitsu moves than even Splinter, Raph, Mikey, and Donnie all at one time. In the 3rd office of the first season episode series "Return to New York", he cuts the Shredder's caput off in a i-on one-duel in Shredder'south domain.

Leonardo is the most skilled at ninjutsu and other forms of hand-to-hand combat he all learned from his adopted father and master, Splinter. As his weapons are dual katanas, he is expert in "the ways of the sword" and bones knife-throwing techniques. If need exist, he can use Qi Qong to tiresome his own actual functions to survive temporarily without oxygen. After training sessions with "the Ancient One" he developed an intuitive/psionic-like power to see what has previously transpired by "assuasive thought to flow out and inside."

2012 animated series [edit]

Leonardo, equally depicted in the 2012 Nickelodeon serial

Leonardo once more leads the team in Nickelodeon's 3D estimator-blithe series. In this latest version, Leonardo seems to be less experienced and still perfecting his fighting skills and leadership abilities to make more than solid decisions and proceeds more trust from his 3 younger brothers. He regularly watches an animated scientific discipline fiction prove called Space Heroes (a parody of Star Trek: The Animated Serial) and uses information technology every bit a guide for his leadership skills, oft attempting to quote from the show in an attempt to sound intimidating and heroic, even if near of his attempts fall flat due to him sounding likewise cliché.

Leonardo's weapons here are purely dual katanas, which he uses in the Niten Ryu manner of kenjutsu, making him an fantabulous swordsman. Despite the fact the other three turtles accept added traits in this series, Leonardo is nigh completely normal but now has bluish eyes. Upon the sudden demise of his adopted male parent and primary, he reluctantly steps up as sensei in improver to being the leader, which puts fifty-fifty more pressure on him. He is visited, on occasion, by the spirit of Splinter who encourages him to lead his family and friends to terminate new evils.

In add-on to his natural ninjitsu skills, he eventually developed the potent innate ability to heal via an enchanted mantra known every bit "the healing hands." By chanting the incantation and making the right hand seals, Leo is fully capable of revitalizing his inner strength and counteract even the almost lethal of poisons and venom of "the healing hands." He managed to develop and utilize it to counteract the lethal venom of Karai, and attempted to use it on her to release her from the Shredder's control but failed. He then succeeded in saving Casey and Michelangelo from death. Co-ordinate to Splinter, he shows great gifts as a healer, and that being at the edge of his life had given him "a power that few martial artists tin tap."

The character was voiced past actor Jason Biggs up until "The Wrath of Tiger Claw". Biggs then departed the series and was replaced by Dominic Catrambone for the balance of the 2nd season; Seth Green then took on the role for the residue of the serial.

2018 animated serial [edit]

In the 2018 animated series, Rising of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ben Schwartz voices "Leonardo, the self-professed "coolest" brother possesses irreverent amuse and a rebel heart".[6] Dissimilar past versions, he is not the official leader of the turtles until the second season finale, and boasts a less serious, more laidback, charming, sardonic and joke-dandy personality. This incarnation of Leo is a 14 twelvemonth old twin (Donnie is his younger twin blood brother). Despite his apparent immaturity and goofiness, Leo is quick-witted and strategic by nature, and also initiatively leads his brothers whenever something has happened to Raphael (who is the group's de facto leader throughout the first ii seasons). He tin be arrogant about things, but he also demonstrates insecurity and self-doubt. At the end of the season ii finale "Rise", Splinter appoints Leo the new leader of his sons, much to the shock of him and his brothers.

Films [edit]

Original trilogy [edit]

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Leonardo was adequately pocket-sized and sensitive, rarely issuing straight commands and seemingly much more than relaxed around his brothers thinking of himself as more of an equal than a leader. It was he who first communicated telepathically with a kidnapped Splinter and seems the near anxious about Raphael'south health after his ambush past the Human foot Clan. He fought alongside his brothers confronting The Shredder in the climactic battle and was the but i of the four to actually injure The Shredder, but, like his brothers, could not defeat him. Due to the focus on Raphael in the moving-picture show's plot, Leonardo'southward personality was rarely explored and his leader position in the team took a back seat. Leonardo was portrayed by David Forman and voiced by Brian Tochi.

In The Hush-hush of the Ooze, Leonardo was much more prominent and his leader position was brought to focus. He is seen on many occasions bickering with Raphael as their sibling rivalry begins to get much more serious. He, like his brothers, was astonished at the return of the Human foot but he constitute that their current homelessness due to their last battle was a more pressing issue and presently he convinced his brothers that they needed to movement. Leonardo is in one case over again sensitive, caring, and humorous in this adaption but he now appears much more than bossy and decision-making.

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, after traveling back in fourth dimension to feudal Nihon, Leonardo leads his brothers to assist a village in trouble from the villainous weapons trader, Walker, and to return domicile.

2007 film [edit]

In TMNT, Leo was sent away by Master Splinter to hone his skills in condign a more than efficient leader afterwards Shredder's defeat. April finds him in Cardinal America and while he was hesitant to return to New York Metropolis, he does at the correct time to accept on a new forcefulness of evil.

His brotherly relationship with Raphael is strained due to Raphael feeling abased by Leo every bit well as feeling less appreciated by Splinter. Leonardo's vision of the globe is mayhap wider than Raph's. In the first movie prequel comic, Leo becomes angry with Raph for trying to leave them in club to save a man from being mugged because there are 4 heavily armed Triceratons in the sewers who could cause devastation to the city. He becomes further angered when Raphael deserts them mid-boxing to help an quondam man. This conflict suggests that the two brothers operate on different levels of morality, though neither is necessarily wrong. Raph states in the comic that he was tired of waiting for disaster to fall on his family and tired of fighting aliens while people in their own neighborhood are beingness mugged and murdered. Leo, on the other paw, believes that the world of men is the responsibility of the police, while Utroms and Triceratons are their domain... that they should fight simply when there is no i else to solve the trouble. This also engages Leo in a contradiction when he stays in Central America, using violence to fight local lawlessness and effectively deserting his brothers because he believes as Raph believes, that others need him more. Such parallels suggest that the two brothers are experiencing the same dedication to justice merely in a different mentality, albeit in very different locales and using different tactics. In fact, when Leo tracks down and scolds the Nightwatcher (non knowing that he is Raphael), he remarks that he is well enlightened of the Nightwatcher's good intentions simply cannot simply approve of the latter's methods.

Raph challenges Leonardo after arguing of their ain individual sense of justice and the reasons for their actions. Leonardo discovers that Raphael is the Nightwatcher and the 2 engage in an emotional fight. Raph nigh kills Leo out of acrimony and then retreats due to shame and his brother'southward deep and confused stare. Leo is captured past the Stone Generals and the Foot Clan but is rescued by his family unit afterwards before the final battle where Leo and Raph finally resolve their differences, Raph accepting Leo every bit their leader while Leo confesses to needing Raph. Leo is voiced by James Arnold Taylor in this film.[vii] [viii]

Reboot series [edit]

Leonardo appears in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, portrayed by Pete Ploszek in motility capture and voiced past Johnny Knoxville.[9] [ten] [11] In this movie, he is dedicated to perfecting his ninjutsu skills and will end at nix to defend his brothers and the entire metropolis. There are times where his cautious nature makes him clash with his brothers. Leonardo firmly believes it'south his ninja duty to protect all people. He tends to have a like personality to his '87 analogue where he is determined to aid people and keep his brothers in line. He and Raphael unlike in their other adaptions don't fight over leadership although they have a brief argument over the Hamatshi and Raphael talking most leaving which Leo debunks Raph'southward claim. In the moving-picture show he, like Donnie and Raph, doesn't seek April's attention unlike Mikey who does. He also appears in the sequel, Out of the Shadows, although Knoxville didn't return to vocalism him, and Ploszek provided both movement-capture and voice.[12]

DC crossover film [edit]

Leonardo appears in the straight-to-video crossover film Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, voiced by Eric Bauza.[xiii]

Video games [edit]

In the video games, Leonardo is portrayed also-counterbalanced, having stiff only non extreme abilities in all areas and no glaring weaknesses. His range is rather long, just not as long as Donatello's; yet, Leonardo can usually inflict more damage. In the Tournament Fighters games, his moves are the closest to a Ryu/Ken archetype from the Street Fighter franchise. He appears in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up as a playable grapheme, with Michael Sinterniklaas reprising the role.
