Sharks start out as eggs, but incubate and hatch in the womb. Sometimes the number of pups is less than the number of eggs that were fertilised. Do you know why? Cannibalism. The pups start eating each other within the mother's womb the moment they hatch. They start killing their siblings the moment they enter the world, viewing everything they see as nothing more than prey. As of today you and I are fellow members of Akatsuki. So be careful... of me.
~ Kisame to Itachi

Kisame Hoshigaki (in Japanese: 干柿鬼鮫, Hoshigaki Kisame) is a major antagonist in the manga/anime series Naruto. He is a member of the Akatsuki, and partnered with Itachi Uchiha.

He is also best known as one of Guy's greatest rivals, as well as his undying loyalty to the Akatsuki. Out of all the members, Kisame was the only one who knew of Tobi's true identity. To prevent his enemies from knowing about the truth of his identity, Kisame sacrificed himself to prevent the truth from coming out.

He was voiced by the late Tomoyuki Dan in the original Japanese version, and Michael McConnohie and Kirk Thornton (who also voiced Akahoshi) in the English dubbed version.

Appearance[]

Kisame is a member of the Akatsuki, so he wears a black robe with red cloud markings all over it. He also wears a head band that symbolizes the Village Hidden in the Mist, with a scratch on it. But what's most notable about Kisame's appearance is his shark-like skin. Kisame's skin is pale blue with six black markings on his face and shoulders, that appear to be gills, and razor-sharp teeth. He also wields a giant sword called Samehada which it can eat chakra.

Powers and Abilities[]

Kisame Hoshigaki has an immensely high amount of chakra, 30% of which were compared to Naruto’s own chakra reserves. He has great physical strength. He is a skilled ninja and swordsman. He is also skilled with water style-based jutsu mainly involving shark-based attacks such as Water Shark Bomb Jutsu. He also wields a giant sword name; Samehada which has the ability to eat other's chakra. He also can merge with Samehada to become a form he likes to call, the Tailed Beast without a tail.

Biography[]

Background[]

Originally, Kisame was a ninja from the Village Hidden in Mist. He first started off as a subordinate under Fuguki Suikazan of Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. He was tasked to guard the Cypher Division and killed them when they were cornered by a Hidden Leaf squad under Ibuki Morino to keep their intel being leaked out. Eventually, Kisame learned that Fuguki was selling information to other ninja villages and killed him. Taking Fuguki's sword Sharkskin, a living weapon that absorbs an opponent's chakra, Kisame became a new member of Seven Swordsmen.

Though he was commended for his loyalty, the acts of killing his own people left Kisame disillusioned and he began to see his life as a lie. He was then later approached by a ninja who claimed himself to be Madara Uchiha and was the power behind the Fourth Mizukage Yagura. Though first skeptical when "Madara" unveiled his Eye of the Moon plan, Kisame became one of the first and most loyal members of the Akatsuki when enticed with the promise of a "world without lies". Eventually, wanted for plots to overthrow the Feudal Lord of the Land of Water, Kisame became a rogue ninja and was partnered to Itachi Uchiha, with hostility between them until that found common ground and became close friends.

Part I[]

Kisame accompanied Itachi to Konoha to abduct Naruto Uzumaki, overpowering Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi, and Kakashi Hatake until Might Guy arrived. Though annoyed with Itachi's notion, Kisame is forced to fall back and continue their search. Once they find Naruto, Kisame uses Sharkskin to drain Naruto of his chakra as Itachi battles Sasuke. But before Kisame can amputate any of Naruto's limbs, Jiraiya arrives to his aid and drives him and Itachi off. Kisame later attended an Akatsuki meeting to discuss the events leading to Sasuke leaving the Hidden Leaf Village.

Part II[]

During the sealing of Shukaku, Kisame was tasked with delaying Team Guy, one of the two teams searching for the Akatsuki's hideout at the time, and was eager to get revenge on Might Guy for defeating him three years earlier. He used the Shapeshifting Technique on one of Sasori's sleeper agents to fight the team remotely. Ultimately, the sleeper agent was killed in battle.

Eventually, after capturing the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Roshi without a scratch on him, a saddened Kisame is tasked by Itachi to stand guard outside the Uchiha Hideout and to let only Sasuke through. Once Sasuke entered the Uchiha Hideout, Kisame engages Suigetsu Hōzuki, an old acquaintance, to combat with Sharskin going to the victor. However, Zetsu stopped the fight and Kisame later learns that Tobi is the ninja he met long ago. Tobi apologizes for the deception but regards Kisame to be truly loyal to his cause.

Kisame's Shark form

Kisame's Tailless Tailed Beast form.

After Sasuke and Taka failed to capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B, Kisame is sent to clean their mistake by using Sharkskin to follow the trail of the Gyuki's chakra. During the battle, Kisame absorbed Sharkskin to assume his Tailless Tailed Beast form to have an advantage on Killer B, Sabu, and Ponta. However, Kisame was forced to cancel his transformation when Sharkskin was working against him to add Killer B due to the weapon's love for his chakra. Matters got worse for Kisame when the Fourth Raikage A and his two bodyguards arrived.

Luckily with Zetsu creating a clone of him to fake his death, Kisame fused into Sharkskin as Killer B claimed the weapon as his own. Kisame intended to study the Village Hidden in Clouds's plans for the upcoming Fourth Great Ninja War. However, having obtained the Nine Tails chakra, Naruto sensed Kisame and exposed him. Escaping, Kisame confronted Guy, who remembered all of their past encounters and was annoyed by Guy's failure to remember him. With Guy interfering in his attempt to deliver his findings to Tobi by shark, with Sharkskin no longer in his arsenal due to new loyalties to Killer B, Kisame battles Guy until he is defeated. Captured, with Aoba looking his mind for information, Kisame summoned three sharks to devour him to keep the opposition from getting an advantage while his scroll was safely delivered to Zetsu.

Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals[]

Manga[]

Kisame made an appearance in the chibi spin-off Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals. He appeared in chapter 16, alongside with Itachi arriving at the hideout. Upon seeing a disguised Lee, he starts to find him suspicious and says that the latter almost reminds him of a guy he once fought. To avoid being easily recognized, Lee changed the shape of his face by copying a face almost similar to Itachi's but Kisame still finds him suspicious.

After Lee, when he is trying to leave accidentally bump Deidara, which made him fall and drop his bomb and hit. Sasori, angered by this, tries to teach Deidara a lesson by summoning his Third Kazekage but accidentally drags him, as well as Konan and Kakuzu, thus starting a fight. After the fight that destroyed their hideout, Zetsu arrived revealing that Tobi is the new recruit.

Kisame made another appearance in chapter 21, where he and Itachi are in the forest while Team Guy are on a mission to capture a wild gorilla. At some point he and Itachi are separated as with Guy with his summon turtle and and his student as well. When Guy fell off the cliff with sticky chakra on his back from the gorilla and fell on top of Kisame, which got them stuck each other back, so they don't even know who they are stuck to. When gorilla arrived and calling them "Bizzare Beast" according to the summon turtle, Kisame is willing to offer an assistant to capture that gorilla. However, their teamwork is proven difficult to deal with the gorilla, which got each other injured. When he used his water clone, he realized he can look behind his back to see Guy, only to see his injured body that he can't identify.

After they rest at the campfire and having food, Kisame realized he could use Samahada to separate each other only for Guy to reject instantly because he wants live. They started learning how to understand and work together. When the gorilla returns after smelling a cooked banana, they revealed to the wild beast that it was a trap. Kisame and Guy fight the gorilla, by creating a combined jutsu that Guy uses Morning Peacock and Kisame's summon jutsu of Thousand Feed fish to create from Grilled Fish Breakfast jutsu to Full Seafood Course for a Thousand Guest Jutsu to feed to Gorilla until the Gorilla was too full. Guy and Kisame got separated from a sticky chakra Guy's student manage to get him and the gorilla before Kisame could have seen Guy's face, and he is reunited with Itachi, who is still wearing a fox costume from Lee. They were last seen with the gorilla escaping from Team Guy, and the gorilla using sticky chakra to stick Itachi's and Kisame's back, much to their dismay.

Anime[]

Kisame made his anime debut appearance in Episode 38, where the role is same with chapter 16 only differences are that Guy arrived with a disguised that made him suspicious along with Lee's and Guys' fight being too similar, and Tobi revealed that Lee is a spy and wants to beat up Deidara for hiding that information.

Kisame appeared again in Episode 47, where he went to Konoha. In this episode, it is notable that Kisame was able to enter the village as if he was a normal civilian instead of a criminal and is seen treating his weapon Samehada, as a pet dog rather than a weapon. He went into the village's dog cafe, brings Samehada into the cafe and pretends that it is a dog.
