Mirage ComicsEdit

In the Mirage Comics, Yoshi and Shen's relationship attracted the jealousy of fellow Foot Clan member Oroku Nagi. In order to protect Shen, Yoshi killed Nagi, and for this act he was forced into exile in New York. Nagi's younger brother Oroku Saki was adopted by the Foot Clan, and in time became The Shredder. When he was ready, the Clan sent Saki to America to start a new branch. Saki took the opportunity to track down Yoshi and Shen, and killed them both to avenge his brother.

MoviesEdit

In the first movie, Tang Shen's story is similar. Her involvement with Yoshi once again attracted the jealousy of a fellow Foot Clan member, but this time it was Oroku Saki himself. Yoshi and Shen fled to New York to hide from Saki, but he followed them and killed them both. The actress who portrayed her was uncredited.

2003 SeriesEdit

In the 2003 series, Tang Shen was raised by the Ancient One, along with Hamato Yoshi and Yukio Mashimi. Yoshi and Shen fell in love, but this attracted the jealousy of Mashimi. To make matters worse, while both Yoshi and Mashimi were Guardians of the Utroms, Yoshi was promoted up to the rank of Guardian 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 and led an attack against the Utroms. The attack failed, and the Utroms 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 duelled Mashimi and killed him. Later, he moved to New York, the new hiding place of the Utroms. On her gravestone, her name was written as "唐慎" (Táng Shèn).

IDWEdit

Tang Shen was the wife of Hamato Yoshi, a member of the Foot Clan in feudal Japan. When Yoshi was marked for treason by Oroku Saki, he had her murdered. Her dying words encouraged Yoshi to take their four sons and run.
