History
Tang Shen was raised by the Ancient One, along with Hamato Yoshi and Yukio Mashimi. Yoshi and Shen fell in love (which brought her to become pregnant), but this attracted the jealousy of Mashimi. To make matters worse, while both Yoshi and Mashimi were Acolytes for the Ninja Tribunal, Yoshi was promoted up to the rank of Shinobi Prime while Mashimi was passed over. Mashimi's jealousy of Yoshi eventually led him to betray everything and join the Foot Clan. He killed Shen, kidnapped the daughter Miwa, and led an attack against the Tribunal. The attack failed, and the Tribunal fled to a new hiding place, but Yoshi stayed behind and sought revenge. He attacked the Foot headquarters alone, fighting his way up to Mashimi, until finally he dueled Mashimi and killed him. Later, he moved to New York, the new hiding place of the Tribunal. On her gravestone, her name was written as "唐慎" (Táng Shèn). While she did not appear again in the series, her grave was later visited by Splinter, who brought Yoshi's ashes back to Japan to be buried next to her.
