Personality: Coming from the Mist Village, which is famed for its relentless and vicious ninja, Kisame already would have had a reputation that preceeded him for being one of its strongest. He's also a rogue ninja, and one of the Akatsuki, which only makes his ferocity more known. He definitely doesn't go against this presumption in any way. He quite enjoys fighting and killing, and he likes to maim his opponents. He suggested cutting off Naruto's legs to make him easier to deal with when taking him back to the Akatsuki, at one point. His jutsu tend to take the form of sharks, and he's one of the most powerful members of Akatsuki, and he doesn't hold back. He appreciates having a good opponent, as noted whenever he fights Might Guy.
Despite his bloodthirsty nature, he will repress his urge to fight when told not to, by Itachi, mainly. One of the principals Kisame upholds is loyalty. This may be ironic, seeing as he's a Mist Ninja, but a little background info makes it make perfect sense. During a mission with the "Cypher Corps", a group of ninja carrying codes that Kisame was to protect, the group was ambushed by Leaf Ninja. As Kisame was told to do by his master, he killed his comrades while they were being pursued, knowing that he couldn't protect all of them. When he found out that said master was selling off Mist Village secrets, he slew him, as well. Further, he found out that the Fourth Mizukage was being controlle by Madara Uchiha, who had found Kisame to be faultlessly loyal when carrying out his orders.
Kisame left his village after a time, believing that he lived in a world of lies, and joined the Akatsuki, people who could be honest about how terrible they were, what monsters they could be. Madara promised him a world of truth, and later when he finds out that Madara is actually leading the Akatsuki, he sticks around as his suboordinate, after Itachi's death. When he was weakened to the point of not being able to escape, and bound up by one of Yamato's techniques, an ANBU of the leaf village tried to extract information from him using a jutsu. He woke himself up, broke free from the jutsu, and committed suicide by allowing summoned sharks of his to devour him. Kisame is loyal to a fault.
That being said, he can be pretty cynical about people and doesn't get attached very quickly. However, he did eventually become friends with his partner in Akatsuki, Itachi Uchiha, and tended to follow his orders and requests. He showed signs of being concerned about his health, as shown when he told Itachi that he shouldn't use "those eyes of his" so much, referring to the Sharingan. He's talkative (Itachi points out that he talks a lot), and sociable when he wants to be, but he doesn't warm up to people quickly. He's also been shown to be somewhat insecure over having blue skin. The first example was in an Omake in which Deidara points out that Itachi was a ladykiller, and Kisame sulked in the background. The second was when viewing Kisame's past. The only girl in the Cypher Corps asked if Kisame, who was sitting off to the side by himself, would like to eat with the rest of the team, to which he replied, "You don't have to be nice to me." This suggests that he is used to people avoiding him or being unpleasant to him.
"We're the brains, and he's the brawn," one of the Cypher nin said. But that statement wasn't entirely accurate. Kisame's very perceptive, and sensed danger when none of the Cypher group did. He was even precautious enough to set up a serious of ninja wire and kunai in an alerting system that would warn him when someone was getting close to their location. He can analyze his opponents quickly, at least enough to estimate how dangerous they are and what moves they might pull next, as shown a few times when he fights Guy - granted, he's nowhere near Kakuzu's level when it comes to strategy. But he seems to have a sixth sense for knowing how things will turn out, as shown when he had to kill his team before the Leaf Nin captured them, or hiding himself in Samehada before Killer Bee had a chance to actually kill him.
First Person: [Action - Video]
[Kisame steps off of the train in bewilderment. He is certain that he hadn't boarded one of these things - no, he'd been on his way to Cloud Village to find that Eight-Tailed beast...]
Well...what have we here?
[It doesn't take him long to notice a bumping against his leg, and he pulls the hem of his Akatsuki robe aside to reveal a pocket watch hooked onto his tool belt. The second thing he notices are posters, placed on the walls of the place. He reads over one of them and snorts.]
Really, now...everyone's full of it, sure, but this place has to take the cake.
[Still, he can't really explain where he is. He opens up the watch, only to observe that it isn't very reminiscient of a watch on the inside - that there are letter and buttons and a screen. So it was some kind of discreet communicator. Experimentally, he pushes one of the buttons, and when a red light comes on, and the screen reflects his face, he speaks. He gives a sharp-toothed smirk, too, because you can't expect anyone who might be here to be friendly (or terrified) if you're not smiling, right? He's not exactly happy right now.]
So...who do I have to rough-up to get some real answers around here?
Third Person: Really, now, who was he kidding? He knew from the beginning of this mission that these idiots from the Cypher division were going to die. He hadn't spoken to them much, other than the briefing of his part of the mission, to reiterate that his job was to guard the information they held. Not them, but what they carried with them. From his point of view, he didn't need to make it any clearer that he believed their weak carcasses were entirely expendable. If it came down to it, he would carry out his master's orders and kill them all.
But she'd offered him a spot among them, the Cypher Ninja, despite the reluctance of the rest of them. She had been forward, asking him out to dinner. He hadn't accepted or denied her offer, which was strange for him. But...she was kind, and it caught him off-guard. Or had she been teasing him? It hadn't exactly filled him with hope, but he wasn't feeling so cynical that he wouldn't take her up on that offer if they all got back to the village alive. Maybe.
Either way, in the end, it came down to that. The first three were only injured, but Kisame couldn't save them. He couldn't protect all of them, with the lack of organization and the number of Leaf Ninja following them. The remaining Mist Nin came to a halt in front of a wide and deep crevice in the ground, a straight drop down from a cliff edge. This was it, he thought. There was no more running from all of them. If captured, the Leaf Nin would get those codes from these brainiacs. They wouldn't be able to handle the head of Torture and Interrogations there. Even she couldn't. Especially not her.
Kisame turned to them and drew his katana. He said to his master that he would do it, if it came down to it. The men went first before his blade sliced open a deep gash in her shoulder. When she fell and asked him why, he told her the truth. And of all the things she could have said, or could have done before he ended her life, she smiled.
