Foot Ninja are the rank-and-file of the Foot Clan.

History[]

Since ancient times, the Foot has existed in Japan as a ninja troupe, carrying out the typical ninja activities such as assassination, spying, espionage, and protection. Eventually, leadership of the clan, or at least its New York City branch, fell into the hands of one Oroku Saki, who came to New York to end the lives of his brother's killer, Hamato Yoshi, and his lover, Tang Shen.

Fifteen years later, the Foot had grown into a major crime organization. Saki, now going by the Shredder, had his lieutenant Tatsu train local delinquent youths to act as his own personal army of thieves and enforcers.

Channel 6 news reporter April O'Neil caught wind of the Clan's existence and began snooping into their origins and motives. Saki did not like her exposés of their actions, so he sent four Foot Ninja to coerce her to keep silent. Fortunately, the Ninja Turtle Raphael came across this incident in the subway and beat the ninja, but not before accidentally knocking one of them into O'Neil and knocking her unconscious. Raphael took her back to his home, but a fifth ninja was watching him.

This gave them the opportunity to take someone beloved to Raph and his brothers - their martial arts master and foster father, Splinter. The four who Raph knocked out were arrested, and bail paid for their release. Shredder, however, saw fit to punish them his own way, by having them attack him, and being the master, obviously, he soundly thrashed his students. Shredder, now aware of the turtles, charged his Foot with their defeat.

While blowing off steam on some rooftops, a large group of Foot Ninja attacked Raph. As much of a match as he was for four of them, this much larger group was absolutely capable of overpowering him. They knocked Raph through April's skylight, then charged inside, with Tatsu leading an all-out assault against the remaining turtles. During the fight, Michelangelo dodged an axe swung by a ninja, which hit some essential wiring and started a fire that eventually engulfed the entire building. The turtles, April, and Casey Jones, a vigilante Raphael had met earlier, fled the fire, while Tatsu commanded that his "ninja vanish!"

Later, Tatsu took his anger out on the ninja that had accompanied him, charging them with the failure of their mission to capture or kill the turtles, culminating him in murdering one. The sight of this led Daniel Pennington, a young Foot hopeful, to continue to waver in his trust and loyalty to the Foot.

A short while after this, the Shredder commands his soldiers to enact an all-out war, especially on the turtles, including returning to their now-broken down lair. However, the turtles were preparing for this, ambushing the Foot. The turtles fought their way to a rooftop, where the Shredder himself was waiting for them. He soundly trounced the turtles, but was thrown from the roof by a rescued Splinter. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
