Tang Shen is the wife of Hamato Yoshi.
History[]
Tang Shen's romance with Hamato Yoshi attracted the jealousy of fellow Foot Clan member Oroku Nagi. Shen's home was broken into by Nagi one night and he ordered Shen to love him instead of Yoshi. Upon her refusal, Shen was brutalized by Nagi, who was of the bitter belief that no one else should be able to have Shen if he couldn't. Yoshi soon after arrived at Shen's home and murdered her attacker. After learning of Nagi's death, the Foot demanded the dishonored Yoshi choose suicide or banishment from Japan. Yoshi chose to exile in the United States of America, where Shen joined him with Splinter, Yoshi's pet rat.
The Foot adopted Nagi's younger brother Oroku Saki and over multiple years, Saki became the Shredder. When he was ready, the Foot sent Saki to the United States to form a new branch. Saki, seeking revenge on Nagi's behalf, took the opportunity to track down Yoshi and Shen's apartment, where he murdered Shen before murdering Yoshi.
