You're completely right and I missed that in annoyance, but
y'all are missing the point. This is the second time I've read whoever writes these ad copies for the NECA Mirage figures injecting their own fanfiction.

Actually, oruku is the family name. Nagi was the older brother, saki the younger one. I am flipping through the pages of TMNT issue 1, and typing… ahem… Hamato Yoshi, Splinter’s owner, killed Nagi when he attempted to rape and murder the woman they both loved (kidnapping would not have her beaten, breast exposed, saying “if I cannot have her, no one will!”). In a fit of anger, Yoshi beat him to death. No challenge. Raw hatred. Shamed he let emotions overcome him, he and left for America with his love. Saki, Nagi’s younger brother, vowed vengeance on the coffin of his brother. Trained hard and quickly rose in the ranks of The Foot. Eventually, he was given a leadership position in the expansion of The Foot, taking them to New York City. It is there he adopts the name The Shredder, and devotes the Foot to a specialized organized crime protection racket. As “The Shredder” he kills Yoshi and his wife. Splinter (exceptionally long lived for a garden variety pet rat) was left homeless, and the rest is history….
However, it never dawned on me that they were using the Japanese way of speaking names by putting the last name first, so thank you for that. In fact, the cartoons never said Oroku was his last name either.

Yes, I know, I've read the Mirage Compendium. I was doing a basic, bare bones explanation to be quick and not give all of the spoilery details.

That might be where I ended up thinking Saki was his last name then.
