Teenage Mutant Ninja Heroes/Hamato-Sawyer Clan

 * Leonardo "Leo" Sawyer (voiced by Darren Criss): The Leader of the Ninja Heroes, and second-in-command of the Hamato-Sawyer Clan, born as a red-eared slider turtle. He is 15 years old. He and his turtle brothers are quadruplets (him being the oldest), but he is younger than Basque and Frida, making him the third oldest member of the group. His theme color is blue. Leo is the most mature, disciplined and skilled. Calm, cool, and collected, he always attempts to help his brothers to be the best ninjas they can. Because of his leadership, he's often challenged with the constant rebellion of Jack. An expert swordsman, he wears an ocean blue mask and wields two special katanas with the abilities to open portals or to teleport himself or others. He has a huge crush on April, who later becomes his love interest/girlfriend. He is based on his counterparts from the 2003 and 2012 series, but with the mixed appearance from the 2012 series and Rise of the TMNT (the only difference in this series is that he doesn't have a rivalry with Raph, and instead has one with Jack).
 * Donatello "Donnie" Sawyer (voiced by Bumper Robinson): The Brains of the Ninja Heroes, born as a spiny softshell turtle. He is 15 years old. He is the second oldest of the Turtle quadruplets, but is the fourth oldest of the group. His theme color is purple. Donnie is the smartest and gentlest of the heroes. An intellectual, he often attempts to find an alternative way of reaching his goals. Donnie is a gifted scientist and mathematician. He does a lot of work with vehicles, technology, and experiments. Any science and math skill you can think of, he will do it all. Using his intellect, he invents gadgets and vehicles. He is typically the passive turtle and Leonardo's second-in-command, playing the part of peacekeeper between Leo and Jack. Donnie is not as rowdy and violent as his siblings, but he can get a little annoyed with them on occasion. However he never loses his temper. He is calm, sensible, quiet, friendly, and gentle. He does not get into a lot confrontations with his siblings. He is more interested in his work than in his ninjutsu but he still attends to ninja practice and works hard there as well as his projects. Studying the art of Bojutsu, he wears a purple mask and wields a powerful mystic metallic Bō staff with magic energy versions of his gadgets. The mystic staff could also link up with his technological attachments. He is based on his counterparts from the 2003 and 2012 series, but with the mixed appearance from the 2012 series and Rise of the TMNT.
 * Raphael "Raph" Sawyer (voiced by Robbie Daymond): The Brawn of the Ninja Heroes, born as an alligator snapping turtle. He is 15 years old. He is the second youngest of the Turtles, but is the fourth youngest of the group. His theme color is red. Raph is the most temperamental and physically strongest of the team. Rebellious, cynical and quick-witted, he is often driven by his strong emotions. His quick temper tends to get the better of him, but he openly loves his siblings, parents, and allies. Unlike other incarnations, he listens to Leo's orders and respects and gets along with his three oldest siblings. Raph is known for his temperamental and cynical personality, being short-tempered, aggressive, sullen, maddened, sarcastic, and rebellious. He wears a red mask and uses a special pair of sai daggers with the abilities to amplify his own physical strength with red mystical energy constructs or to make clones of himself made from the same energy. He is based on his counterparts from the 2003 and 2012 series, but with the mixed appearances of the 2012 series and Rise of the TMNT.
 * Michelangelo "Mikey" Sawyer (voiced by Greg Cipes): The Wildcard of the Ninja Heroes, born as an ornate box turtle. He is 15 years old. He is the youngest of the Turtles, but is the third youngest of the group (being older than Jack and Kusama). His theme color is orange. Mikey is the least disciplined and most fun-loving turtle. He is usually portrayed as the most agile and naturally gifted, contrasting his free spirit and inability to take training seriously. He often uses southern Californian surfer dialect and expresses his love of Pizza whenever brought up. Michelangelo is the most naturally gifted of the four brothers but prefers to have a good time rather than train. The most energetic of the team, he is shown to be rather immature; he is known for his wisecracks, quick-wit, optimism, and love of skateboarding, pizza, video games, comic books, giant monster movies, smoothies and pranks. He wears an orange mask and fights using a special set of nunchaku with the ability to extend to great length and control will. He still uses both catchphrases "Cowabunga!" and "Booyakasha!". His friendship/bromance with Basque is very similar to the one of Cyborg and Beast Boy from Teen Titans/Teen Titans Go. He is based on his counterparts from the 2003 and 2012 series, but with the mixed appearance from the 2012 series and Rise of the TMNT.
 * Frida Franklin (voiced by America Young): The Lieutenant of the Ninja Heroes, earning the ability to transform into a half tiger half turtle hybrid. He is 15 years old (almost 16). She is the adoptive older sister of the Turtles, as well as being the second oldest of the group. Her theme color is silver. Before Akari adopted her into the clan, Frida was a hacker that steals copies of video games for herself to earn some extra money since she and her then-decreased mother abandoned her toxic, abusive father. She is based on Frida from Teenage Mecha Ninja Turtles, as well as Venus de Milo, Robin from Teen Titans/Teen Titans Go, Jennika from the IDW comics, Leo's counterpart from the 1980s series, and Raph's counterpart from Rise of the TMNT.

 * April O'Neil (voiced by Lea Michele): A 15-year-old Caucasian-American teenage girl who is a confident, courageous, benevolent, intelligent, and outgoing human companion of the Ninja Heroes. She was a former lab assistant to the mad scientist Baxter Stockman. She met the Ninja Heroes when they saved her from a squadron of MOUSERS chasing her down the sewers. She embarked on many of the team's adventures and aids them by doing the work in public while the Ninja Heroes cannot. Like in the 2012 series, she is able to possess extraordinary strong psionic/extrasensory abilities; having been born a human/Kraang mutant hybrid, as a byproduct of her late mother being experimented on by the Kraang before she was born, which she gradually learns to develop further and increase considerably in strength as the show progresses. Her psionic aura varies from being transparent, to white, to yellow. However later, her psychic and extrasensory powers have been greatly reduced, as she no longer can draw more strength from the mystical Sol Star necklace she herself had destroyed, but they are still far stronger than they were before she acquired the Aeons mystical gift. Her ninja weaponry is a Tessen, and later, a dragon tanto. She is Leo's love interest and later girlfriend in the series.
 * Robyn O'Neil (voiced by Kat Graham): A 16-year-old African-American teenage news reporter for Channel 6 News who is the first human friend and ally of the Ninja Heroes. She is April's older cousin. She was the first one to befriend the Ninja Heroes, and has already known them for 5 years before the beginning of the show and the team looks to her as an older sister figure. Robyn is a smart, friendly, intuitive, fun-loving and virtuous, but somewhat tomboyish, and sometimes unorganized and irresponsible girl with glasses who is constantly looking for a job to support herself which constantly goes wrong. However, despite her enthusiasm and bravado, she has a hard time making friends at school and is nervous about high school gatherings. When fighting, she also wields any blunt weaponry she can find, mostly a baseball bat. She is based on her counterpart from the 2003 series, as well the incarnations of April from the 2003 series and Rise of the TMNT.
 * Casey Jones (voiced by Josh Peck): The teenage son of a former NHL player at April and Robyn's school who Robyn is hired to tutor for an extra credit assignment. He is also known as a hockey-masked vigilante, armed with an assortment of sporting goods that he carries in a golf bag. He is a close ally and friend of the Ninja Heroes. He has a crush on Buffy.

She is the oldest child of Master Splinter. She is 16 years old. Initially, she was their sworn enemy, but soon became a trusted ally after learning the truth about her parents and grew even closer to Jack, who had a crush on her when they met.

She had grown to ally herself with her adoptive siblings; the Ninja Heroes, her true parents; Splinter and Akari, April, Robyn, Casey, Buffy and their allies.
