![]() ![]() She asks Leonardo to help capture alive one of the mysterious warriors that are giving much trouble for the Foot everywhere. In the revival of the Mirage Studios' series by Peter Laird and Jim Lawson (without Eastman's involvement), Karai has returned to settle in New York and is using a high-tech armor. Had this series continued, Karai would have been revealed as the person behind the mask of Lady Shredder, a character introduced in the series' final issues as a third contestant vying for leadership of the Foot. Karai never properly appears in Image Comics' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, despite Laird previously having considering an idea for Karai to return with "different types of ninja gear for her" as well as introducing a concept that "every new Foot soldier has a third eye ('the Eye of Karai') which is a video transceiver device that constantly relays data back to Karai's central processing computer." It is, however, revealed that she has been deposed as the leader of the Foot in Japan and is presumed to be dead. Karai thanks the Turtles for their help, but they answer she owes them nothing but her word, to which she agree, saying that "no longer will the Foot Clan bother you", and returns to Japan. After an ensuing hard fight, the Turtles and Karai are the only ones left standing. The disguised Karai, wearing the Shredder's armor, orders the Elite to commit seppuku, but only one does. During a final confrontation, five Elite face off against the Turtles, Karai, and her Foot Soldiers. It is revealed that the girl was Karai's daughter, and in despair, she makes Leonardo swear he will help her kill all of the Elite. ![]() As they reach her skyscraper headquarters, they find dead Foot guards and the Foot's leader cradling a girl's corpse. After debate, the Turtles finally agree to seek Karai's assistance in dealing with the Elite. Shortly after arriving in New York, Karai captures Leonardo and offers the TMNT a deal: if the Turtles destroy the Elite, she will offer them a truce with the Foot Clan. Ever since Leonardo killed the Shredder (Oroku Saki), the Foot faction in NYC has been in chaos, with different groups warring with one another for ultimate control, save for Shredder's Elite, who have been carrying out seemingly motiveless attacks on the other factions. She is introduced as one of the leaders of the mainstream Foot Clan in Japan (a member of its Council of Five) who came to New York City to restore order in the 1993 "City at War" story arc. The character was created by plotter Kevin Eastman, plotter-writer Peter Laird and writer-artist Jim Lawson, first appearing in cameos as an unknown woman in Mirage Studios' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #53 (November 1992) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #54 (December 1992), and being named Karai in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #55 (January 1993). In one version of the comics, she is the granddaughter of the immortal Shredder. ![]() She is depicted as Shredder's second-in-command or adopted daughter in most versions and shares a rivalry with Leonardo and is at times considered his love interest. Since then, she has appeared in several different Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics, television series, films, and video games. She was originally introduced in Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's comic book series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 1992. She is usually a high-rank member of the Foot Clan outlaw ninja organization.
