Akatsuki Members
Below are the members of Akatsuki that we have some data on.
Tobi / Madara Uchiha
First Manga Appearance: 280
First Anime Appearance: Shippuuden 32
Ring: Gyoku (Jewel/Jade) on left thumb
Originally From: Unknown
Miscellaneous Information: Tobi was formally Zetsu's subordinate. He has a very formal and correct manner of speech and wanted to fill in Sasori's position in Akatsuki after he had died. To his luck, he was eventually let in Akatsuki. In chapter 362 Deidara blew himself up and it was believed Tobi died as well. In chapter 363, however, a surprising turn of events takes place - Tobi is seen giving orders to Pain! It is revealed that he is Madara Uchiha, the real leader of Akatsuki, and one of the founders of the Hidden Leaf Village. Madara created Akatsuki as a means to hide himself from the world, using their activities to disguise his own plans. As Madara, Tobi's personality and speech become completely different, with a much less formal speech and a more typically villainous sway. Tobi's only known abilities are that he can let attacks pass through him easily, and that he has the power of the Sharingan.

Pain
First Manga Appearance: 238
First Anime Appearance: 135
Ring: Rei (Zero) on right thumb
Partner: Konan
Originally From: Hidden Rain Village
Miscellaneous Information: Pain is the assigned leader of Akatsuki, and is partners with Konan. He was told by Tobi/Madara to capture Naruto, and that because he is the leader, he cannot fail. Pain has shown us that he has as six different bodies which share the same mind, and are known collectively as The Six Paths of Pain. These bodies all have brown/orange hair color, piercing, and the Rinnegan doujutsu (which allows the user to perform any jutsu and manipulate all six types of chakra-nature manipulation). All six bodies are, in a sense, connected since they can share visual information seamlessly, giving Pain the ability to coordinate offense and defense of all six bodies as if they were a single entity.
Each of the six entities that are Pain were ninja that Jiraiya encountered as he wandered the world. Some of the abilities we've seen Pain's bodies perform are detecting the movements and chakra levels of people traveling within the rain (that he has created), the summoning jutsu, ability to absorb ninjutsu as a form of defense and the ability to fire his left arm like a missile.
Pain's real name is Nagato, and he was left orphaned by one of the Hidden Rain Village's many wars in his childhood along with Konan (who is also a Akatsuki member), and a boy named Yahiko (who is presumed dead). After one of the wars, Jiraiya met the three kids, and became their teacher for a short time. Sometime after Jiraiya left, Nagato started to view himself as a god destined to teach the world the meaninglessness of fighting. Eventually 'Pain' came into existence and single-handedly killed the Hidden Rain Village's former leader, Hanzo and those affiliated with him, and became somebody the village's people worship.

Itachi Uchiha
First Manga Appearance: 139
First Anime Appearance: 80
Ring: Shu (Scarlet) on right ring finger
Partner: Kisame Hoshigaki
Originally From: Hidden Leaf Village
Miscellaneous Information: Killed everyone in his clan except for his little brother, Sasuke. Initially, Itachi murdered his best friend, Shisui Uchiha, to gain the Mangekyo Sharingan, but went on to massacre the rest of the clan, leaving only Sasuke. Seven or eight years after the Uchiha massacre, Itachi reveals to Sasuke that he had the help of Madara Uchiha, and the only reason he left Sasuke alive was to steal his eyes. The Mangekyo Sharingan brings upon blindness to the user, and the only way to prevent going blind was to take the eyes of one's sibling. With that goal in mind Sasuke was left alive to live hating Itachi, and one day possibly awaken the Mangenkyo Sharingan. At some point in time Itachi joined Akatsuki. The timeline that has been given throughout the series coupled with his age suggests that he joined the organization prior to killing his clan.
Itachi is a genjutsu specialist, and can trap opponents within an illusion by merely pointing or looking at them. He also relies heavily on his Sharingan in battle, and uses them to reads an opponent's movements and respond accordingly. With his Mangekyo Sharingan, Itachi uses the attack Tsukuyomi to take his opponent's mind into an alternate dimension and torture them. A matter of seconds in the real world is equivalent to hours to the person under control of Itachi's Tsukuyomi. The Mangekyo Sharingan is more than just genjutsu, however. There is a physical attack associated with it - Amaterasu - a ninjutsu, which emits a black flame several times hotter than the sun's heat. Both the Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu take up an incredible amount of chakra, so Itachi tries to wrap up battles as fast as possible.

Kisame Hoshigaki
First Manga Appearance: 139
First Anime Appearance: 80
Ring: Minami (South) on left ring finger
Partner: Itachi Uchiha
Originally From: Hidden Mist Village
Miscellaneous Information: Kisame is one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, seven powerful ninja who utilize large and unique swords. He has unimaginable amounts of chakra and wield's a sword called Samehada, which is a scale-covered sword that shaves things, instead of cutting them. It also has the ability to absorb chakra and prevent anybody other than Kisame to use it.
Unlike most members of Akatsuki who fight with one another, Kisame gets along well with Itachi. He listens to what Itachi says and looks out for him, indicating he ha a human heart. Oddly enough, Kisame has a distinctive shark-like appearance, as he has pale blue skin, small white eyes, gill-like facial structures, and sharp triangular teeth.
Like others from the Hidden Mist Village, Kisame uses water element jutsu in combination with his powerful physical attacks. Even if there is no water source where he is fighting, Kisame can use a Water Release Jutsu to create a lake's worth of water to aid him in battle.

Zetsu
First Manga Appearance: 234
First Anime Appearance: 134
Ring: Kai (Boar) on right pinky finger
Partner: None
Originally From: Hidden Grass Village
Miscellaneous Information: Zetsu seems to have a split personality, as half of him is black and the other is white. The black half of his face speaks in a deep voice while the white side in a lighter voice. The two halves are often seem to talk to one another other and occasionally differ in opinion. This split personality might be the reason Zetsu does not have a partner. Along with having a "two-face," Zetsu's head is surrounded by what looks like a venus flytrap.Zetsu has the ability to merge the ground, trees, and other plants, which helps him immensely in his functions as a spy for Akatsuki. He also eats the bodies of people Akatsuki does not want found, such as spies and Akatsuki members who have been killed.

Konan
First Manga Appearance: 238
First Anime Appearance: 135
Ring: Byakko (White Tiger) on right middle finger
Partner: Pain
Originally From: Hidden Rain Village
Miscellaneous Information: This is the only female member of Akatsuki. In chapter 363 we finds out that she is Pain's partner. Konan has blue hair with a white flower in it. When she was younger, Konan and her teammates (Nagato, and Yahiko) were left orphaned by one of the Rain Village's many wars, forcing them to fend for themselves. One day, they met Jiraiya, who stayed with them for a short while and taught them the art of being a ninja. Konan has a unique ability where she can divide her body into a countless pieces of paper. This paper can be controlled individually and formed into various shapes for a number of purposes, such as butterflies for scouting or random weapons for attack. Her weakness is water, as when she uses her paper abilities, the paper clings to itself and loses its stiffness
