Furutaka is noted for her highly asymmetrical design with most of her ship parts encasing most of her right arm, torpedo launchers on her left leg and a single thighhigh on her right leg. She also wears clunky metallic shoes. Her most striking feature is her left eye, which appears to be glowing and emitting sparks. It represents her searchlight, confirmed with her second remodel (see below).
Otherwise, she shares her uniform with her sister ship Kako, with a crop-top serafuku.
On her second remodel, she now wears a bodysuit covering her torso, abdomen, hip, and ends at her shoulders and mid-thighs. She also wears a single elbow glove on her right arm and her single thighhigh has changed side. Her ship parts are now even bulkier, covering more of her right arm, and are held in place with a chain, all resembling the bow of a ship. The gear on her left leg has been streamlined and now features a catapult. She now wears actual shoes instead of the previous metal booties. Kako's screw hairclips have been added.
Personality
Proud of her status as the first high-speed heavy cruiser of the IJN, she often boasts about the power of a heavy cruiser in her lines.
She is often drawn with a burn scar around her left eye, usually more graphically than what her portrait would suggest. That "burn scar" in her unremodeled portrait is actually a shadow caused by her hair. Her second remodel portrait doesn't even feature that shadow due to art style changes. Still, the "burn scar theory" makes sense when you consider that her glowing left eye is probably a fake one.
