Early life
Tang Shen met Hamato Yoshi when he was still human. Oroku Saki fell in love, but Tang Shen chose Hamato to be her husband, much to his joy. Shredder then became furious and jealous that he turned on his old friend. One day, he insulted him in front of her, he called him many things. Tang Shen was horrified to see this as Splinter strikes down Shredder for his harsh insults. Tang Shen then got close to him as he watches Shredder leaving the scene. Later on, Tang Shen and Hamato got married and they had a beautiful daughter named Miwa. They took care of her, had fun, and do all kinds of things they loved. One night as they went to bed, Shredder returned to challenge Hamato. As Tang Shen kept herself and her baby away, Hamato did everything he could to fend off Oroku Saki. Shockingly, Shredder was about to put the finishing blow on Hamato, but he struck Tang Shen, killing her! Horrified, Shredder set the house on fire and left Splinter to his fate. Splinter, however, managed to survive, but he lost his beloved Tang Shen.
