Her combat gear is unusually painted all black, with a hand-carried, twin-turretcannon in her left hand, twin torpedo turrets on her thighs, and a smokestack and antenna mast carried like a backpack.
She obtained her second remodel on the June 25th 2019 update. See the post for more details.
For a collaboration with Lawson in September 2016, she was also designated to wear the employee's uniform for a picture with Kawakaze.
History
Historically, she was one of the first ships built under the Circle Two Program, launched in early 1936. She was originally part of Destroyer Division 24 along with her sister ships Yamakaze, Kawakaze, and Suzukaze. Although she mainly performed troop transport or escort missions, she was involved in several dangerous night missions to bombard Henderson Field in Guadalcanal, fighting in the infamous Ironbottom Sound, including in the First Battle of Guadalcanal. Afterwards, she was heavily damaged by an airstrike, and forced to be towed to Sasebo by Asashio. She had one of her cannon turrets removed, and replaced with an additional Type 96 Anti-Air gun. Ultimately, she was sunk at Truk Atoll by the USS Guardfish, a Gato-class submarine in March 31, 1944, with 215 of her crewmen surviving.
