Its also the reason why I feel a mix of hilarity and disgust when April refers herself to a kunoichi. The thing is the writers didn't do thorough research what actually means kunoichi imo. In Monkey Brains Splinter himself offers April to train her to be a kunoichi and she accepts this. So April calls herself kunoichi because Splinter offered her to train her to be a kunoichi. And that's not the only episode where Splinter uses the word kunoichi. In Baxter's Gambit he said  "Ah, but April, you posses the kunoichi's most powerful weapon: the mind." So Splinter calls April kunoichi. Is Splinter teching her to do what kunoichi actually does? If he doesn't train her to seduce people why he calls her kunoichi?

Maybe as I said at the beginning the writers didn't do thorough research. Many people think kunoichi is female ninja. So the writers just use the word kunoichi without profound thinking.
