Kantai Collection's personification of the Japanese battleship Musashi. Character design by Shizuma Yoshinori, voiced by Misato.
She is portrayed with long grey hair in two side up style and twintails, brown/red eyes, dark skin, and large breasts. Her default outfit consists of chest bandages in a sarashi style, black capelet with a red sailor collar, kikumon collar, red pleated skirt, black thighhighs, and grey rudder footwear. The only visible difference in her kai form is that her red skirt and jacket/capelet turn black.
Her rigging consists of two hull pieces in a half-circle and held by a funnel to her back, containing her three 46 cm triple gun mounts and four 15.5 cm triple gun mounts (base) or two 15.5 plus six 12.7 cm twin anti-aircraft gun mounts (kai); thigh straps with armor-piercing shells, and a headpiece based off her real-life rangefinder.
For her kai ni, see Musashi Kai Ni.
Musashi sports a boastful, battle-hungry personality, contrasting with the more reserved Yamato. Her looks and personality stem from how the actual battleship's sinking involved taking an incredible amount of punishment, although like Yamato, she never actually engaged in surface combat. This may also be in oblique reference to the fact that she shares part of her name with the legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi. Ironically, the real life Musashi never scored any single "kill" throughout her career, unlike her sister.
