Michaelangelo was one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He was generally happy-go-lucky, and had a fondness for pizza beyond even that of his teammates. He is often referred to as a "Party Dude", which, though somewhat accurate, accounts for only part of his deep persona. His mask was orange, which is his favorite color, and his weapon was a pair of nunchucks. He was named after Michelangelo Buonarroti, the famous Renaissance artist. It was a spelling error that stuck, but he is called Michelangelo in the Japanese adaptations of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. His trademark phrase was "COWABUNGA, DUDE!!!!" In the 1987 cartoon show, Michaelangelo was voice-acted by Townsend Coleman. In the 2003 cartoon show, he was voice-acted by Wayne Grayson.
