Bio

A witch who can change into a cat and a friend of Karai, originating from Japan. Under her hat hides a mesmerizing stone.

History

City at War

She first appeared as an enemy as she took on the Turtles and stole April O'Neil's weapon. Later, she went to Shredder's old lair and gave her weapon not to Shredder, but to Karai. Karai later explains that Shinigami is an old friend of hers from Japan. Later, April fights Shinigami to get her weapon back. She loses, but April still gets her weapon back when Karai tells Shinigami to return it to her. Afterwards, she and Karai went to an old building where Shredder stores his weapons, not knowing they were being followed by Tiger Claw, Fishface, and Rahzar. The three tried to ambush them, but they give the mutants the element of surprise. She fought Tiger Claw and tried hypnotizing him with her stone, but she was still defeated and knocked out by him when he put her over his back and knocked her out with a combination of his jetpack and the ceiling. Tiger Claw then used her as leverage to get Karai to surrender. She and Karai were tied up and later rescued by the Turtles. She and Mikey (who was smitten with her) fought Rahzar and later escaped. She is later seen with Karai bowing to April for forgiveness in the lair before leaving to continue Karai's plans to rebuild the Foot Clan and take down Shredder's criminal empire.

Personality

Relationships

Karai

Shinigami is an old friend of Karai's from Japan and has tried to help her rebuild the Foot Clan in a more honorable image. Shinigami calls Karai "senpai", which means Karai is older than her and likely her mentor.

Michelangelo

Michelangelo was immediately smitten by her at first glance.

April O'Neil

April did not like Shinigami because she took her weapon and defeated her twice. she and Karai later apologized to her. the three of them now appear to be on good terms with each other.

The Shredder

Like Karai, she is out to destroy The shredder and burn his foot clan empire to the ground. Karai most likely told her everything that has happened since she arrived in New York and upon hearing it all, she most likely despises him like everyone else for everything awful he has done to them all.
