Michelangelo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
Michelangelo or Michaelangelo, nickname Mike, Mikey, or Michael, is a fictional character and one of the four main characters of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" comics and all related media. In the Mirage/Image Comics, all four turtles wear red bandanas, but in other versions he wears an orange bandana. His signature weapons are dual nunchaku, though he has also been portrayed using other weapons, such as a grappling hook, manriki-gusari, tonfa, and a three-section staff (in some action figures). More fun-loving than his brothers, and the youngest of the turtles. Michelangelo was given a much bigger role in the 1987 cartoon series, directed at a younger audience, than in the more serious original comic books which were aimed at an older audience.

Skateboard
A skateboard is a type of sports equipment used primarily for the activity of skateboarding. It usually consists of a specially designed maplewood board combined with a polyurethane coating used for making smoother slides and stronger durability. Most skateboards are made with 7 plies of this wood. A skateboard is moved by pushing with one foot while the other remains on the board, or by pumping one's legs in structures such as a bowl or half pipe. A skateboard can also be used by simply standing on the deck while on a downward slope and allowing gravity to propel the board and rider. If the rider's leading foot is their right foot, he/she is said to ride "goofy;" if the rider's leading foot is their left foot, he/she is said to ride "regular."
