Description
Here we have Ancient One.
Bio.... Ancient One was a greatest teacher of Ninjitsu, a mentor and adoptive father of Hamato Yoshi A.K.A. Splinter, father-in-law of Tang Shen, and adopted grandfather of Miwa and the Turtle Halfas and a partly teacher of the students. He took Yoshi in when he was abandoned by his parents and later began training him with the art of Ninjitsu. He once thought of getting Yoshi to join the Ninja Tribunal, but quickly went against such a plan, since they always see a bigger picture for Yoshi than he ever will. He also took in another student, another young man named Oroku Saki who became Yoshi's friend and later a rival when they both fell for Tang Shen. Ancient One knew right away that Tang Shen's love was only for Yoshi, and he could not bring himself to let his adoptive son fight Saki for her hand, so he helped her choose Yoshi over Saki. But Saki swore revenge on them and, after marrying another woman and became a father, his fight with Yoshi caused the fire to break out, destroying their home. Luckily, Ancient One manage to save Yoshi, Shen and Miwa and escape. After a talk with the Ninja Tribunal, he took the Hamatos to America, to live in a monastery that was built in New York. 3 years after that, while Miwa and Ancient One were asleep, Yoshi and Tang Shen were abducted by Baron Draxum, who experimented on them and four orphaned babies, resulting in them becoming Mutant Halfas. After they escaped and returned home, the couple explained the situation to Ancient One and Miwa, who both understood and accepted them. For 15 years after that, he helped Yoshi and Tang Shen train Miwa and her adoptive brothers in the art of Ninjitsu. When he retires, he became laid-back and lazy sometimes. Sipping tea or milk, eating cakes and pizza, watching his favorite tv show. And sometimes he could be absent mined and caused troubles and mischiefs with his family as well. Despite all that, he still cares deeply for his family, through and through. When he and the two masters first knew about Karai, he sensed conflict within her. One night, on new year's night, he noticed that the cherry blossom pedals mysteriously appeared blowing in the wind, making him realized that his time has finally come. With that, he finally passed and made Splinter and Flinder the new Grand Masters. Splinter, Flinder, and the entire family and friends, even students and Turtles, were deeply sadden by his depart. And to honor him, along with the Winx, Usugi, Sora, Kairi, Rick, Leatherhead, and even all of their friends and family and allies made a Japanese traditional funeral for him, similar to Splinter's funeral in 2012 version
He is based on old human version of Splinter with mixed of Iroh from Avatar the Last Airbender and is voiced by Dustin Hoffman (Shifu from Kung Fu Panda)
