Oroku Saki and Hamato Yoshi lived in Japan and were both in love with the same woman, Thang Shin, but Tang Shen only loved Yoshi. Rather than fight Saki for her hand, she persuaded Yoshi to flee to America, Yoshi and Tang escaped to live in New York City, but Saki found them. Out of hatred and jealousy, he murdered Shen first alone in her home and waited for Yoshi to get home from construction work. During the fight, Splinter, still just a pet rat, escaped from his cage and bit and clawed all over Saki's face. Since then, he has carried a scar on his face. In return, Saki took one swipe at Splinter's ear with his katana, slicing a part of it off. After this incident, it is said that Saki is never heard from again. The comic book adaptation of the film retains the original story behind the creation of The Shredder, with Nagi being slain and Saki coming to America to seek vengeance.
