[edit] Leo wasn't always the hero

"He is also, arguably, the main character of the TMNT stories."

In the TV series, yes. But in the original comics and live action movies, Raphael seems to be the main character.

[edit] Nindo?

I can't seem to find any reference to Nindo, either in Wikipedia or a cursory search Google. How does it differ from Bushido, and where is this cited? — T-Boy: (complain bitterly) (laugh contemptuously) 02:56, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Does anyone know his height or weight?

[edit] Removal of Innacuracy section

I believe the 'Innacurracy' sections should be removed on all of the ninja turtle character bio pages.

There is really no reason to criticize fictional creations for not being realistic. There's plenty of other innacuracies with other fictional ninjas. Naruto Uzumaki turns into wood and uses a billion clone copies of himself but nowhere on his page do i see 'in reality, Ninjas could not shoot magical blue balls or create mystical illusionary copies of themselves.'

In fact, all of the 'innacuracy' sections on each of the TMNT bio pages read mostly as POV and fancruft anyways. So, I'm just removing them all now. TotalTommyTerror 14:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Any major innacuracies should be mentioned with the questionable statement once, and then left alone. There doesn't need to be a section on them (which could maybe qualify as being a trivia section, which is a no-no). Disinclination 17:31, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ninjaken or katana?

Something about this has been bugging me for awhile. The "profile" listed on the external links shows that it is an official website, and even that says his weapon is a katana. Does anyone who has read an interview or read the original comics know what he called his weapons? After reading through the article, it indeed does look like ninjaken, rather than katana, due to the curvage (or lackthereof) of the blade. Disinclination 06:04, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

"Ninjaken" is likely not a word and should be removed. (At least in Japan, nobody knows about it!) Seems silly to say that Leonardo's weapon is not a katana, since "katana" in its broader sense just means a blade with one edge (not two) - nobody is saying that Leonardo is equipped with tachi or wakizashi or other more specificly named weapons. (Katana's etymology (think in terms of Japanese words, not kanji) is kata (片, one side) + ha (刃, blade).) Edededed 07:16, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Image:Leo 04.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.
