KISAME HOSHIGAKI'S BACKGROUND,APPEARANCE AND PERSONALITY

KISAME'S BACKGROUND-
Before becoming known as a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist , Kisame was assigned to the Cypher Division by his superior, Fuguki Suikazan to guard them.[3] While resting, the team is cornered by Ibiki Morino's platoon during a mission. Kisame chooses to kill his team-mates in order to prevent
any information from being leaked out. He later
killed his master when he realized that he was
selling information as well, taking control of Samehada for himself and also replacing him as one of the Seven Swordsmen. Approached by the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, who commended him for his act of loyalty to
Kirigakure, Kisame rebuked him and revealed his
disillusion. He said he no longer believes he really
was loyal to the village while he was killing his
fellow Kiri ninja, calling his life of betrayal and
murder nothing but a "living lie". Madara Uchiha then revealed himself as the one controlling
Yagura from the shadows, intimating to Kisame
his Eye of the Moon Plan. Kisame was at first sceptical of Madara's identity and thought his
plan was insane, but Kisame realized he wanted
to experience this "world of truth", paving his
way into becoming one of the first and most loyal members of Akatsuki .

While in Kiri, Kisame is given the title of "Monster
of the Hidden Mist". He is also known to have
formed a connection to Suigetsu Hōzuki and Mangetsu Hōzuki. His former country, the Land of Water, sought him out for plotting to overthrow its government and being involved in numerous
assassinations, including that of a daimyō of an unknown country. [5] As a member of Akatsuki , he was partnered with Itachi Uchiha. Though they initially greeted each other with hostility,
they became good partners and shared a
common bond of having betrayed the people
closest to them.

KISAME'S APPEARANCE-
Kisame was a very tall, muscular and strong
shinobi. He had a distinctive shark-like
appearance, complete with pale blue skin, small,
round white eyes, gill-like facial markings under
his eyes, gills on his shoulders and sharp
triangular teeth, much like the other members of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist . He also styled his dull blue hair in the form of a shark fin. Even
his name, Kisame (鬼鮫), means "Demon Shark". As a member of Akatsuki, he also wore a dark blue
nail polish colour. During his time as a Kirigakure shinobi, he sported the standard outfit of the
village, complete with a flak jacket and a forehead protector. Later, he donned what appears to be the standard attire of the Seven
Swordsmen which consists of: a dark sleeveless
shirt paired with matching pants, provided with
a waist guard, and striped arm and leg-warmers
typical of his village. He also switched to a
modified version of Kirigakure's forehead protector, which covered his ears as well. He
kept this very same attire, under his Akatsuki
cloak, even after defecting from the village, with
the only differences being his leg-warmers,
which were substituted by the organisation's
standard ones; though later on, he also removed the shirt from its attire, remaining bare-chested.
He wore his Akatsuki ring on his left ring finger,
bearing the kanji for South (南, nan) which was yellow in colour, and wore dark purple nail
polish.

KISAME'S PERSONALITY-
Kisame loved to fight. However, he was usually
unable to finish his battles, being paired with
Itachi who only fights when necessary. When
this happens, he had been known to inform his
opponent(s) that they "don't know how lucky
they are." Like other characters who have trained to be one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Kisame
will not hesitate to mutilate his opponents, as
seen when he suggested cutting off Naruto's legs to make him easier to carry, and to prevent the latter from escaping on foot.[6] Despite his aggressive nature, Kisame was very perceptive
in battle. He is seemingly aware of any potential
danger to his person and can immediately react
to it. He is also shown to be analytical, able to
quickly deduce the basics behind an opponent's
technique. Kisame was one of the few members of Akatsuki
that got along well with his partner. He was very
loyal to Itachi, not only willing to take any
commands he was given without question but
always asks Itachi for permission to take action
proven when he asked Itachi for permission to kill Asuma who was bothering him, and
constantly looked out for his well-being for
instance, after Itachi used Tsukuyomi on Kakashi,
Kisame warned that Itachi risked overusing his
eyes which is dangerous. Although Kisame does
have his pride, he acknowledged Itachi as the stronger of the duo, evident by Kisame saying to
Itachi that he himself couldn't defeat Jiraiya, but
stated his certainty that Itachi could go one-on-
one with the Sannin. Kisame considered Itachi such a good friend, that even in his last moments,
he thought about Itachi. Kisame also has a deep
loathing for Might Guy since their first encounter, and Guy seemed to continue to agitate him by
not remembering who Kisame was when they met again.[7] Throughout his entire life, Kisame believes that
everything was a lie. While his mission during his
time in the Cypher Division was to protect his comrades, Kisame believed protecting
information was far more important than
protecting lives. This prevented him from forming
bonds with his fellow shinobi, which was better
for him when he was required to slaughter them
in order to protect the codes of his village; he even executed his own master for selling the
village's secrets out. This became his philosophy, and he lived by it strictly. When Aoba Yamashiro was reading his mind, Kisame forced himself into consciousness by biting his own tongue to
prevent Aoba from extracting any important
information, and then, knowing that escape is
impossible, summoned sharks to allow them to devour him, effectively committing suicide.
Kisame's deepest wish was to experience
Madara's "world of truth".
