The naginata is Donatello's weapon of choice in the 2012 TV series.  Unlike the bo staff it has a sharp blade at the top of it.

It was also used by one of the Karai Bots in the 2003 TV series episode New Blood and the video game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare. The bots weapon was also used by Leonardo and Donatello in the episode "New Blood".

In the 2012 TV series Donatello's bo staff has a retractable naginata blade on the end, and is one of two turtles that received upgrades to their traditional weapons (the other being Michelangelo's nunchaku). However, unlike Mikey, who uses his new weapon as much as he uses his nunchaku, Donnie rarely ever uses this, and has only used once in combat. Under the blade it has a round holder just like a sword. Some Foot Soldiers also use Naginatas.
