Oyuki Mashimi

Oyuki Mashimi arrived in the pages of Archie's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures in 1992 — right in the thick of that book's beloved Copper/Modern Age run, when the series was carving out its own bold identity beyond the cartoon. Created by Eric Talbot, Dean Clarrain, and Chris Allan, she shares her adventures with the four Turtles themselves and April O'Neil, appearing not just in the main series but in special issues including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Presents: April O'Neil — a hint at the kind of character depth this corner of the TMNT universe prized. With a dozen catalog appearances spread across a few memorable years, Oyuki is a genuine piece of Archie TMNT lore, the sort of character that rewards fans who dig deeper into one of comics' most surprisingly rich licensed runs.
