hagikaze (kancolle)
Kantai Collection's personification of the Japanese destroyer Hagikaze. Character design by Konishi (koconatu), voiced by Hayami Saori.
Appearance
See post #2182582.
She has yellow eyes and long purple hair with an ahoge. Her hair is tied into a one side up similar to Kaga's side ponytail. Her default outfit is the Konishi-designed Kagerou-class uniform: a white blouse with a black vest, and a red neck ribbon. She also wears a black pleated skirt, white gloves, grey/black kneehighs, and loafers, plus purple underwear as revealed in her damaged CG.
Her combat gear includes a twin-cannon turret held with two handles on the sides and a purse-like strap, with a backpack-like mount for a smokestack that carries swing-arms for more turrets. On her thighs, she has additional anti-air guns strapped in garter belt-like arrangements.
History
The historical IJN Hagikaze was the escort of the IJN Kaga during the ill-fated Battle of Midway, and both rescued survivors and ultimately scuttled the carrier. She later went on to be sunk during the humiliating Battle of Vella Gulf, where American radar (and the Japanese lack thereof) resulted in a night battle where American forces achieved total surprise and were never struck by a single round of enemy fire. She sank alongside Kawakaze and her sister-ship Arashi, while Shigure escaped.
