Mini Bio

((Please note, this Leo is movie based, however, I do not count the third movie, so he doesn't recall ever going back to feudal japan, and all that went on there. I am also playing him more based around him still being on his training mission, and basing it on the prequal comics.))

(Banner not made by me, so no stealing please.)

Leonardo takes after his sensei, Splinter, in taking Ninjutsu very seriously. As the eldest of the four turtles, he is the closest to Splinter and spends much of his free time in practice and meditation. He has a strong sense of honor, and is a strict follower of the Bushido code. He tries to keep his brothers in line and often has the leading role in the characters' adventures.

In the first three TMNT movies, Leonardo was fairly modest and sensitive, rarely issuing direct commands; he also joked around with his brothers much more than in other versions of the TMNT. It was he who first communicated telepathically with a kidnapped Splinter in the first movie, but he was not ambushed by the Foot Clan (Raphael was), nor did he kill the Shredder. However, he is the only one of the four turtles to successfully injure Shredder during their climactic battle. He was acted by David Forman and voiced by Brian Tochi.

In both Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, his actor was Mark Caso and he was voiced again by Brian Tochi.

In the Fourth TMNT film, Leo was sent away by Master Splinter to hone his skills in becoming a more efficient leader after Shredder's defeat. April finds him in Central America, and while he was hesitant to return to New York, he does at the right time to take on the dangerous new force of evil. His relationship with Raphael is strained due to Raphael feeling abandoned by Leo as well as feeling less loved by Splinter. Leonardo's vision of the world is perhaps also wider than Raphael's; in the first movie prequel comic, Leo becomes angry with Raphael for trying to leave them in order to save a man from being mugged, because there are four heavily armed Triceratons in the sewers who could cause devastation to the city. He becomes further angered when Raphael deserts them mid-battle to help the old man get home safely. This conflict suggests that the two brothers operate on different levels of morality, though neither is necessarily wrong. Raphael states in the comic that he was tired of waiting for disaster to fall on his family, and tired of fighting aliens while people in their own neighborhood are being mugged and murdered. Leonardo, on the other hand, believes that the world of men is the responsibility of the police, while Utroms and Triceratons are their domain, and that they should fight only when there is no one else who could solve the problem. This also engages Leo in a contradiction when he stays in Central America, using violence to fight local lawlessness and effectively deserting his brothers because he believes, as Raphael believes, that others need him more.

Leonardo is voiced by James Arnold Taylor in movie 4
