Dojo, Nunchuk and Tj'bang, going by the comics. Bushido, Banzai, and T'gin-zu from the toyline.
Nunchuk's name is Ralph Baducci, and hails from Brooklyn. Don't think there's any asian there. Tj'bang is Sam LaQualle and was born in Rhode Island. And Dojo is Michael Russo from San Fran, California. Of course, filenames and birthplaces were given randomly, especially at this point in the series. The artwork for the Ninja Force clearly shows them to be Asian.
In the comics, Tj'bang was an apprentice of Onihashi (who never left Japan alive, as far as we know), but Dojo trained with the Soft Master while he was in exile, running a Chinese restaurant in the Washington Heights area of New York City. This would probably have worked better if Dojo were born in Brooklyn, and Nunchuk in SF, in hindsight.
On the other hand, Nunchuk trained with the Blind Master in Denver (which would be before Billy and Cobra Commander moved in next door at Fred's garage), then with Storm Shadow in SF after the Borovia storyarc.
For a bunch of martial arts freaks, they sure did a lot of state hopping.
