TMNT was created in an American comic book published by Mirage Studios in 1984 in USA.
But in European countries, they are known as "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles", because the local censorship policies was against the use of the word ninja, as it was considered a violent word.
We all remember the characters from the show, Splinter, the villains; Shredder and Krang, and the four heroes of course; Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael. Not to forget Bebop and Rocksteady, who where a mutated warthog and a mutated rhino, and where part of the villain team. They never appeared in the original comic series though.
