brother of the shredder?
 

Hello !
what is the name of the brother's of the shredder in the old cartoon ? please ^^

that's interesting.
in the first season krang refered to The Shredder as "Saki", suggesting that that was his given name as in the comics.

The old toon is off when it comes to the Asian names. In that episode, it assumes that it's similar to American names, but in "Legend of Koji" the names are used correctly, thus Hamato Yoshi's ansester is Hamato Koji.

Yeah, they kept going back and forth about the Japanese names. Saki is Shredder's first name since as mentioned before last names come first in Japan. Still, most of the time depending on the writer of the episode, it kept getting switch. Such when Shredder's mom called him Oroku.

You could argue that she was doing that to belittle him, since she kept on calling him 'her little boy'. Maybe that's some kind of insult in Japan? :D

The same thing occurs sometimes in the new toon. They reference Karai as "Ms. Saki" despite Shredder's given name being Saki.

^Silly NYC mayor :P

Gods i hate the NYC mayor in the toon. He's such an idiot.

Did he really? Huzzah.

Another thing I'd like to know is... if Splinter is referenced as Hamato Splinter in the Battle Nexus episodes, why is it in the Lost Season and Fast Forward, Leonardo and Michelangelo (respectively) are given the family name "Splinterson"?

^I noticed that as well.

When did the mayor get killed?

Son of Splinter - Splinter's son - Splinterson

Ex. Son of Andrew - Andrew's son - Anderson

(I think anyway)

You're correct. It was a clever idea on the writers' parts.

You bumped a thread from 2007, from an entire decade ago, just to tell someone they were right when they don't even come here anymore?

My point way back then was that it didn't make sense to give them that patronymic when their foster father was Japanese. It would have made more sense to stick with "Hamato".

I'm not that much of an idiot. I know how names work.

Why would you do this.

comics
 

It was also more common in the Archie comics and even UK Hero Turtles comics.

If you still want to know, Demon Shredder killed the mayor in the lost season 5 episode 'Day of the Dragon'

I feel like I got the title wrong

Episodes
 

Here are the episodes

I can't recall which you mean.

It would have been interesting to shredders mom and his brother to have appeared in the same episode.

She is mentioned in "My Brother the Bad Guy" but never appeared physically.

His father would also be interesting.
