Kisame's back story was shown during the Gai fight. He became disillusioned with the Kiri ninja system where killing your comrades to advance was accepted. And then bought into Obito's "truth" about the world. Kimimaro was given a sob story flashback in the anime. The other sound ninja were textbook plot device villains. And they were very effective villains. Fans still fondly remember Tayuya, Sakon, and Kidomaru even without a classic Kishimoto sympathetic back story told in a flashback.
