Here are the more popular members of the Foot Clan.
SHREDDER
A villainous ninja master named Oroku Saki who, along with his evil Foot Clan, is the arch-enemy of Splinter and the Turtles. Shredder wears a fearsome suit of armor covered with sharp blades. Also, in many of the earlier, less comic-oriented cartoons and films, Oroku Saki is directly responsible for both the mutation and the death of Hamato Yoshi.
Oroku Saki is the younger brother of Oroku Nagi. Nagi competed with Hamato Yoshi (the owner of Splinter, the Turtles' mentor) for the love of a woman named Tang Shen. But Shen loved only Yoshi, and a feud erupted between Yoshi and Nagi, which led to Yoshi killing Nagi and fleeing from Japan to New York City with Shen.
Saki joined the Foot Clan at a young age (about 5 years prior to Nagi's death) and trained to be a fierce ninja. Over time, he rose in ranks in the Clan and was eventually put in charge of the Clan’s American branch. This allowed him to finally move to New York and avenge his brother’s death by killing Yoshi and Shen. However, Yoshi’s pet rat Splinter escaped, mutated into an anthropomorphic form, and spent years training the four Ninja Turtles to avenge Yoshi.

KARAI
In the series, she is a member of the Foot Clan, second in authority to Shredder. Karai was abandoned by her parents at a young age, but Oroku Saki (The Shredder) found her and took her in. From there, he taught her the ways of ninjutsu, raising her as his daughter. Her character was appearently merged with this of Pimiko, another TMNT character who is the Shredder's daughter in the Mirage comics.
As in the Mirage comic book, Karai originally comes to New York in order to restore peace to the city after the Shredder has supposedly been defeated. She meets with the Turtles and Casey Jones, and, after a brief altercation, she proposes an alliance with them. Karai promises that the Foot Clan will not attack the Turtles again if they agree to the alliance. All accept this proposal, apart from Raphael, who initially refused to team up with the enemy.
Karai impersonates the Shredder (voice, armor and all) in order to bring together the Foot, the Purple Dragons, and the Mafia. They all meet at the Foot stronghold, and a battle begins. During the battle, Karai is hit, which causes the Shredder's helmet to fall off, exposing her face. Realizing that someone has been impersonating their master, the Foot turn on Karai. The Turtles and Casey Jones enter the battle. Just as Karai and the Turtles are about to be blown away, Raphael enters along with Splinter. Together they defeat the Mafia, Foot, and Purple Dragons. Karai then makes the Foot swear allegiance to her.

KRANG
Krang is an extremely intelligent warlord from Dimension X. He somehow took command of an army of Rock Soldiers under the leadership of General Traag, and stole the Technodrome, a powerful battle fortress, from its creator Drakus. Something then happened, that caused Krang to be stripped of his body and confined to a brain-like form, and to be exiled from Dimension X to Earth, along with his army and the Technodrome.
While on Earth, Krang allied himself with the Shredder, who, along with his robotic Foot Soldier army, moved into the Technodrome. In exchange, the Shredder had to design and build a new body for Krang, a human-shaped exo-suit. Shredder lived up to his part of the bargain, in no small part because he was unable to deal with the Turtles and needed Krang's help. Indeed, the Turtles enter a parallel world in which they never lived, and Shredder had no problem taking over the world. In this world, Shredder abandoned Krang after his conquest was complete, leaving him with no body and a heavily-damaged Technodrome.
Krang's ultimate goal is to take over the Earth; it probably only became his objective after he was exiled on the Earth, but this point is never made clear. Every plan Krang conceives is either aimed at that goal, or towards the short-term objective of powering-up the Technodrome. He does not share Shredder's obsession with the Turtles; while Shredder sees them as mortal enemies, Krang seems to regard them more like annoyances to be destroyed when they interfere in his plans.
Counting from the first meeting between the Turtles and the Shredder, Krang spent about eight years in his Technodrome, either somewhere on Earth or in Dimension X, scheming to power up his battle fortress and take over the Earth.

BEBOP AND ROCKSTEADY
Bebop and Rocksteady used to be human, and part of a quartet street gang in New York City that was employed by Shredder. Rocksteady (a style of Reggae) was originally a short, stocky blonde Caucasian man (who sported army camoflague pants that would be replaced with simple beige pants later while also occasionally sporting an army helmet in his mutated form) while Bebop (a style of Jazz) was a taller Hispanic man with a purple mohawk. With other members of their gang, they were sent out to stop a Channel 6 reporter named April O'Neil from doing a report about crime in the city. April ran down into the sewers while being chased by the street gang and met up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who defeated the gang in a fight.
After this humiliating setback, The Shredder developed a plan to defeat the Turtles by mutating members of this street gang, so that they would have abilities parallel to the Turtles'. Bebop and Rocksteady both volunteered to undergo the procedure (though neither was particularly aware of what it would entail) with the promise that it would let them get revenge on the Turtles. Bebop was mutated into a human warthog, and Rocksteady into a human rinoceros. However, though the transformation did make them larger and stronger, they remained incompetent simpletons, and completely inept at stopping the Turtles or carrying out Shredder's plans. For most of the series they were employed for comic relief purposes. In one episode of the series, Bebop was shown to have kept a pet turtle, which got mutated into the evil turtle Slash.
