Itachi Uchiha Itachi Uchiha is a major anti-villain of the manga and anime series Naruto. He was the late eldest son of the late Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha (Kari Wahlgren), the older brother of Sasuke Uchiha (Yuri Lowenthal), and the late brother-in-law of Sakura Uchiha (Kate Higgins). Most importantly, he is also the late paternal uncle of Sarada Uchiha (Cherami Leigh). He was portrayed/voiced by Hideo Ishikawa in the original Japanese dub, and Crispin Freeman in the American English dub, who also voiced Alucard in Hellsing and William Turner in Kingdom Hearts 2.
Personality[]
After Itachi massacred, murdered, killed, and slaughtered his clan in cold blood, he became practically emotionless, sadistic, ruthless, brutal, merciless, indifferent, remorseless, and unsympathetic. A man of complete self-control over his emotions, Itachi only expressed surprise during battle if his opponent was stronger or caught him by surprise, and even this could be interpreted as a deliberate act to trick Kisame. Unlike most of the other Akatsuki members, Itachi did not display the more typical aspects as a villain such as arrogance. He treated his fellow Akatsuki members with equal respect. In fact, he goes enough to respect and compliment his opponents for their aptitude and abilities. He is able to back up any claims he makes because he has the power to do so, rather than the result of an ego. He does not enjoy the sport of battle nor does he indulge in violent bloodbaths, rather preferring to hastening to end his battles as soon as possible. Even while in such a state, Itachi can still display vestiges of his goodness, expressing disgust of Orochimaru's actions. All of his supposedly villainous acts were all ruses to encourage Sasuke to kill him as he cared deeply for his younger brother. When faced Naruto, he sees hope in the young ninja and entrusted him to pull his little brother out of the vengeful darkness he has embraced all these years. In effect, Itachi (although emotionless from the outside) was unhappy, sorrowful, despondent, and suffering from the inside.
