Michelangelo (2012 TV series)

Michelangelo or Mikey is the "wild one" of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, (though, as the presumed youngest, he would be more accurately described as the 'eternal child'). Though he possesses a "child-like" innocence, he always brings his best game to a fight. He fights with two nunchaku, which convert into kusarigama.

He is voiced by Greg Cipes.

Personality
Mikey is the youngest, shortest, and least mature of his brothers. Enthusiastic, positive and adaptable, Mikey is extremely creative and goes with the flow. He loves pop culture and yearns to be a part of the real world; he insists that people will accept the turtles as equals if given the chance. In the prequel comic, Splinter describes Mikey as his most impulsive son, naturally gifted and having more raw talent than his brothers combined, but he wishes Mikey would focus more on his training. He is shown to be scatterbrained and somewhat dim-witted, sometimes causing problems for the team because of this. His brothers are most protective of him, especially his second oldest brother, Raphael..

Biography
Fifteen years before the Rise of the Turtles, Part 1, the benevolent Hamato Yoshi purchased the four turtles as pets. Yoshi came into contact with a rat and had to fight against a couple of Kraang. During the scuffle, the aliens dropped a container of mutagen, causing the mutation of Yoshi and the turtles. Yoshi raised the turtles as his own children and continues to train them in ninjutsu.

Relationships
Allies:

Leonardo (2012 TV series) - Mikey's oldest brother. He and Leo are the only ones that don't seem to fight that much with each other, but Leo sometimes criticizes his wacky personality and lack of intelligence at times.

Raphael (2012 TV series) - Mikey's second-oldest brother. He gets beaten up by Raph in a playful matter (sometimes violently), but they really do care about each other.

Donatello (2012 TV series) - Mikey's third-oldest brother. He seems to fight with Donnie the most because of their completely opposite personalities, but they do tend to get along while they're fighting the Kraang.

Splinter (2012 TV series) - Mikey's adoptive father. He usually doesn't understand his sensei's advice very well, and doesn't really take it that seriously, but he trains well under Splinter, despite his slight dimwittedness.

April O'Neil (2012 TV Series) - Mikey's first human  friend. He and April don't seem to interact much, but they care about each other as friends.

Trivia

 * Michelangelo's name is Itallian, meaning "Who is like God, an Angel". Given the fact that he was adopted by Hamato Yoshi/Splinter, Michelangelo's full name would be "Hamato Michelangelo".
 * In Katakana, Michelangelo's name is spelt: ミケランジェロ (Mikeranjero).
 * While Michelangelo still fights with his weapons of choice, a pair of Nunchaku, in this incarnation they can both be converted into Kusarigama, (a "chain-sickle"), via a retractible blade inside if one of the sticks of each nunchaku, and extra lengths of chain stored in the other stick of each nunchaku.
 * This new feature acutally makes it's first appearence in Rise of the Turtles, Part 1, when Mikey takes on a lone Kraang and in fear uses the blade of the kusarigama inside one of his nunchaku, slicing open it's face, revealing it to be a robot, (the actual first appearence of Mikey's kusarigama is shown in extended version of Rise of the Turtles, Part 1, during a change-screen, where the Turtles are ready to go up on their first excursion to the surface, as all four turtles are shown with their weapons, Mikey's nunchaku are shown becoming kusarigama
 * He is the shortest one of the group, as well as the youngest of his brothers; Leonardo, Raphael & Donatello.
 * He is depicted as having blue eyes, like his brother, Leo, but Mikey's eyes are a lighter shade of blue. He is also shown with freckle-like spots on his cheeks.
 * He is the one who gives the names to the people who has been contaminated with mutagen but also other things like the T-pod. He also gets somewhat irritated when someone else does the nameing of new items & bad guys.
 * Mikey and Beast Boy (from Cartoon Network's Teen Titans) seem to be similar; same VA [voice actors], they like pizza (more accurately they both like junk food), comic books and video games, they like to make jokes, listening to music and goofing around, and they both even have the same skin tone (which is green).
 * He is shown to hate Polka music (see "I Think His Name Is Baxter Stockman").
 * In 'Tales Of The Turtle Lair', Splinter mentions of all four turtles, Michelangelo is the youngest.
 * His catchphrase in this incarnation is "Booyakasha!" (which is an equivalent of the infamous "Cowabunga!")
 * Mikey seems to develop his own unique fighting style, which he calls "hot nunchaku fury" although it's hard to estimate if it's really a fighting style or just a fancy name.
 * Part of his secret kata consists of Kamen Rider V3's henshin pose.
 * He was the first to taste pizza and so far he's the one who likes it the most. He will even eat it of the floor, or if it came from the trash, (as shown in Panic in the Sewers).
 * In "Never say Xever", Mikey claims he wants a tattoo. When he shows them the tattoo by sweeping down his hand, the tattoo is the 1987 version of himself.
