I am Leonardo Hamato...
Normally distinguished by my blue bandanna and my weapons, which are two ninjaken (literally "ninja sword"), which are universally referred to as katana. I'm told I takes after my sensei, Splinter, in taking ninjutsu very seriously. I spends much of my free time in practice and meditation. I have a strong sense of honor, and am a strict follower of the Bushidō code. I admit I often speak for my brothers and try to keep them in line, making myself the de facto leader of the team. It's been often mentioned that I'm the eldest, but technically we're not always sure ... Raph might be, but not maturity wise.

Personal Profile:I try to be the leader of the team, since someone has to be and I'm the only one who seems to be interested in order. It's often frustrating to choreograph tactics only to see them disappear in an emotional outburst from one of my brothers.
I take Ninjitsu very seriously, as it should be. As it must be. Ninjitsu is not a game!
I train diligently and read up on strategy to better prepare my family for times of duress. I've been accused of being too stringent in my expectations, but I don't agree with that assessment. I'm not striving to be perfect, only perfectly proficient. Perhaps when we are out of imminent danger, I will relax, but a proper ninja is ALWAYS prepared, and always three steps ahead of any nemesis. That takes hard work and dedication.
I love my family more than life itself, so I feel responsible to ensure their protection. Master Splinter is very capable of taking care of himself, but my brothers worry me. I feel that I must be there to compensate for their lack of focus. I guess this may seem a little hard-nosed, but if you were in my shoes, I think you'd agree that someone has to play the "heavy."
With that aside, I do realize the need for fun and relaxation. While I often disagree with Raphael, he is my brother, and I enjoy the times that we spend goofing off. I just wish that he'd try to see things from some other perspective than his own (something he no doubt says about me as well!)
My favorite times are at dinner, when the five of us sit together and listen to Master Splinter tell stories and teach lessons.
::: WHATS HAPPENED??::::
Gaia thats what! Seems upon introducing myself to this world, I've transcended into a humanoid version of my normal terrapin self. I'm not sure how to return to my original form, but for now I'm doing the best I can.
I continue acting as a ninja, but posing as a samurai when out in the open. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like the freedom, however, I was comfertable being a turtle.. it's what I am..or WAS. And I plan to find a way to change back- but even more so. To find my brothers.
They need me.
