Question

Splinter, while living in the sewer, came across a discarded book about Renaissance artists

Answer 2

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles got their names when their sensei, Splinter, found a book in the stormed rain, and named them after Italian-American Renaissance painters; Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello.

Answer 3

Yoshi adopts the four turtles as his sons and trains them in the art of ninjitsu. He names them after his favorite Italian renaissance artists: Leonardo da Vinci, Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi (Donatello),Raffaello Sanzio (Raphael), and Michelangelo Buonarroti. In most versions, the Turtles tend to go by nicknames Leo, Don, Raph and Mike, but in this version they are always addressed by their full name: Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo. Each Ninja Turtle wears a mask over his eyes with a distinctive color, and is trained in the art of a distinct weapon.
