Karai (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
Another iteration of the character appears in Nickelodeon's 2012 "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" animated series, where she is voiced by Kelly Hu. Nickelodeon published early character design sketches of their interpretation of Karai on the Internet. In the series, Karai is a 16-year-old teenager and rebellious member of The Foot and a master "kunoichi" with strong ties to the Shredder. According to the company's official description, "as lethal as she is beautiful, Karai brings a whole new level of chaos and complication for the Turtles." Executive producer Ciro Nieli said: "I really like what we're doing with Karai the most. I mean, I know she's been part of the universe before but I think the twists and turns we're doing with her and just watching her evolve as a very key player in a series is really exciting. We're not really interested in the old Karai canon so much." The Shredder's voice actor Kevin Michael Richardson said: "The daughter thing in my opinion to me that is Shredder's sense of humanity for Shredder. And it's the closest thing to a soft spot. But he doesn't treat her like your average daddy's little girl. He's pretty tough. But at the same time, Shredder with his attachment to her that is the only thing he really has that of course we've never really seen."
