Who Was The First Akatsuki Member To Die
So, Who Kicked the Bucket First in the Akatsuki Crew? Let's Find Out!
Alright, picture this: you're putting together the ultimate villain squad. Cool powers, menacing cloaks, maybe a shared love for world domination… sounds like the Akatsuki, right? But even the toughest teams aren't immune to, well, death.
Now, the big question! Who was the first member of this notorious group to, shall we say, become permanently unavailable for missions?
Was it the Puppet Master, Sasori?
Some folks might jump straight to Sasori, the puppet master with a serious mommy complex. He did meet his end in a pretty spectacular showdown against Sakura and Granny Chiyo. It was like a puppet show gone horribly, horribly wrong!

But hold your horses! He wasn't the first to bite the dust. He was actually one of the stronger members who kicked it later in the series.
Maybe Kakuzu, the Immortal... Almost?
Then we have Kakuzu, the guy who treated hearts like Pokémon cards and seemingly lived forever. He was all about money. This man had seen things.
Even with all that immortality-ish stuff, Naruto still managed to send him to the afterlife with a Rasenshuriken. But, yet again, we have another incorrect choice.
Could It Be Hidan, the Immortal... For Real This Time?
Don't get Hidan and Kakuzu mixed up! Hidan truly was immortal and a crazy religious nut. All hail Jashin!
Though technically “immortal”, Hidan was still defeated. Shikamaru took him down by blowing him up into a million pieces and burying him alive. Still, it was more of an extended time-out than a true departure from this mortal coil. He wasn't the first one either.
The Real Answer: Itachi's Best Friend, Kisame's Partner, Fuguki Suikazan
Drumroll, please! The first Akatsuki member to actually, truly, permanently leave the team (and this world) was none other than Fuguki Suikazan. Now, if you're scratching your head, don't worry, because he is not a famous or recognizable member.
He wasn’t a major player in the overall story, more like a tragic footnote. Think of him as the red shirt of the Akatsuki – doomed from the start.
So, next time you're chatting about Akatsuki trivia, remember Fuguki! He may not have had the flashy powers or memorable storylines of some of the other members, but he holds the unique distinction of being the first to exit the stage. And that, my friends, is a legacy of sorts!
He was Kisame Hoshigaki's superior. Kisame later killed him to protect classified information. It was a dark moment, showcasing the ruthlessness even within the Akatsuki.
