Kantai Collection character personification of the Japanese destroyer Matsu.
Character design by Watanabe Akio, voiced by Taketatsu Ayana.

Appearance

In-game Matsu has long green hair which is draped over her left shoulder with antenna hair and green eyes. She wears a serafuku composed of a khaki sailor shirt with a grey sailor collar and black corset (with an anchor zipper pull tab), a gray pleated skirt, and black pantyhose as well as black gloves, a single knee pad over her left knee, and a black choker. Her machinery consists of a handheld adapted turret, a torpedo launcher beside her right leg, as well as a smokestack and several other items behind her back.

Remarkable for Matsu is her damaged CG which is reminiscent of the infamous Myoukou pose -- said CG shows her in the process of sustaining damage, disintegration of her machiney and clothing, and feeling the brunt of said damage as if hurting.

History

The real-life Matsu had a very short career; she was sunk during her first and only battle three months after she was completed by the combined firepower from three Fletcher-class destroyers (USS Cogswell, Ingersoll , and Knapp) on August 4, 1944, her own firepower being no match to those of the other side. This was after completing a convoy mission to Chichijima and en route back; her convoy was spotted by planes belonging to the US Navy's Task Group 58.1, resulting in an airstrike and subsequent face-off between destroyers.
