| abstract | - Raphael, or Raph, is one of the four protagonists of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and all related media. In the Mirage/Image Comics, all four turtles wear red bandannas over their eyes, but unlike his brothers in other versions, he is the only one who keeps the red bandanna. Raphael wields twin sai as his primary weapon, although historically, sai were never used by ninja as the sai is a Kobudo weapon originating in Okinawa. (In the Next Mutation series, his sai stick together to make a staff-like weapon.) He is generally the most likely to experience extremes of emotion, and is usually depicted as being aggressive, sullen, maddened, and rebellious. The origin of Raphael's anger is not always fully explored, but in some incarnations appears to stem partly from the realization that they are the only creatures of their kind and ultimately alone. He also has a somewhat turbulent relationship with his older brother Leonardo because he is the group's leader. He is named after the 16th-century Italian painter Raphael. In his horse form, he wears a red feather headband and red saddle on his back. In 2011 Raphael placed 29th on IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes.
