The Dog Star Clan are a splinter cell of the Foot Clan founded in China. They are the primary antagonists of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Untold Destiny of the Foot Clan.
History[]
Following the death of Oroku Saki in feudal Japan, Oroku Tadami killed his brothers Randou and Masaie so that he would lead the Foot unchallenged. Before he could kill his final brother, Daigo, the latter pledged service to Tadami, reasoning that their mother served their father despite her great power. Daigo did so for many years, but realized that with Tadami's rule, the Foot could never prosper long enough to fulfil its destiny. Unable to go back on his word to his brother, he instead fled to China and started what became known as the Dog Star Clan. The Untold Destiny of the Foot Clan #3
In the present day Dog Star jōnin and descendent of Oroku Daigo, Yoshi Chen, had his forces steal a piece of Utrom technology from Chincha Technology. He also hired the Foot Clan as a distraction so his men could slip in and extract the tech easier, and also to gauge their threat factor. The two Dog Stars he sent effortlessly beat Casey Jones and Natsu, and almost killed Oroku Karai. Due to this, after his men retrieved the tech, Chen told Dog Star scientist Dr. Bond that they were no threat to his operations. The Untold Destiny of the Foot Clan #1
After recovering, Karai spent the next few weeks training and having her subordinates track down all the information they could about the Dog Stars. Krisa dug up everything she could on the internet about them, while Casey, Natsu, and Clyde tried to pinch off one of their highest cash flows by roughing up the biggest gang they were taking tribute from, the Blood Lightning. This latter action proved to provide results, as a lone Dog Star operative attacked them one day. He was overpowering Casey and Natsu, but failed to actually take Clyde out of the fight and was ambushed by a sneak attack. Wounded heavily, the Dog Star operative self-destructed.
Casey and Natsu brought a severed finger of this Dog Star member back to Karai, thinking she could use magic to extract information, but her skills in that field were not up to the task. Instead, she opted to do what Casey, Natsu, and Clyde had been doing, but a little higher up the chain. She infiltrated a karaoke bar called The Singing Rabbit and killed the security detail of Tanaka Danno. She pressured Danno for information and that finally got Chen's attention. Upon her return home the following morning, Chen had a hologram of himself set up inside to meet with her. The Untold Destiny of the Foot Clan #2
