Tokka is a fictional mutant villain in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe. He first appeared in the 1991 film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. Tokka was played by Kurt Bryant. He was voice-acted by Frank Welker.
The design of Tokka in the movie was inspired by the drawings of comic book artist and writer Stephen R. Bissette. Bissette's noted works include Aliens: Tribes, Tyrant, Taboo, and his award winning run in Saga of the Swamp Thing, among numerous articles and books on comics and horror films.
Tokka only appeared once in the seventh season of 1987 cartoon series. In 1993, he was featured in the season 7 episode "Dirk Savage: Mutant Hunter". He was an out-of-control mutant created when the Shredder exposed zoo animals to mutagen years earlier (whether this refers to when he created Bebop and Rocksteady or Groundchuck and Dirtbag, is not made clear).
Not long after their first battle with the Turtles at the Crystal Palace Mall, they were captured by Dirk Savage. The animated versions were more intelligent and more eloquent.
Tokka has a very uncontrolled appetite which leads him into Dirk Savage's trap which consists of a buffet. The Snapper gets captured by the Mutant Hunter after he devours the smorgasbord.
Tokka's look in the cartoon was very much like that of their action figures, made two years prior to their toon appearance.
