The Bow is a flexible arc which shoots aerodynamic arrows by means of elastic energy. But Splinter is pretty kick ass with the shikomizueĪ Bow and arrow was a weapon used by the ninja as well as the samurai. It is most famous for its use by the fictional sword master Zatoichi. It was used mostly by the ninja, being easy to hide, and even went well with many disguises, such as travellers, the elderly, or the cripple. The shikomizue ("prepared cane") is a Japanese concealed sword disguised as a cane or walking stick, similar to the sword stick. He also digs the underground, since his rat-like abilities make him quite a burrower. As a man - and still as a sewer rat - Splinter has a special fondness for the arts, especially martial arts. Splinter, the rat mutation of ninja master, Hamato Yoshi, is the Turtles' "shidoshi" (teacher of the warrior ways of enlightenment). Hamato himself, having been in contact more with sewer rats, became a humanoid rat. The turtles, being in a pet store with people touching them and all around them, turned into young mutated turtles. This transformed any living being into a mutant whose body became mixed with the DNA of any other living being it was most in contact with. As he tried to recover them from danger and attempted to clean them with his bare hands, they were all affected by the chemical which was a mutagen. But later, he found the turtles venturing near broken barrels that were oozing glowing pink chemical liquid. He kept them as pets and treated them like his children. He came across four baby turtles which were accidentally dropped by a boy through a grate of the sewers. Being unable to prove his innocence, he moved away to New York City, where he lived as a hermit in its sewers and befriended the rats. One day he was framed by his rival, Oroku Saki (Eventually turn into his future arch-enemy, the Shredder), for trying to murder their common dojo master. He was a martial art instructor for the Foot Clan, based in Japan, and also had a passion for Renaissance art. In the 1987 TMNT cartoon, Splinter is Yoshi.
