This version was a merger between Hamato Yoshi and his pet rat where he was originally a human martial arts instructor for the Foot Clan in Japan where he had a passion for Renaissance art. During this time, Yoshi came to be framed for the murder of the common dojo master with this being done by Oroku Saki. Unable to prove his innocence, Hamato Yoshi came to be expelled from the Foot Clan and moved to New York City where he lived as a hermit in the sewers where he befriended rats. One day, he came across four baby turtles that were dropped by a boy through a sewer gate. Yoshi came to keep them as pets and treated them like his children where one day he found them near some broken barrels of oozing chemical liquid. Contact with it transformed the turtles into humanoid mutations due to having been in contact with humans from the pet store. Meanwhile, Yoshi who had been mostly in contact with rats was transformed into a humanoid rat.
