Michelangelo (2012 TV series)

Michelangelo or Mikey is the "wild one" of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. 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 smallest 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. More than anything he longs to be part of the real world and 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-wited, sometimes causing problems for the team because of this.

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 again a couple of Kraang. The aliens dropped their mutagen causing the mutation of Yoshi and the turtles. Yoshi raised the turtles as his own children and continues to train them in ninjutsu.
