Base art
hiryuu (azur lane)
Azur Lane's personification of the Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryuu, voiced by Ishigami Shizuka.
Appearance
In both base and retrofit forms, she has long white hair, rabbit ears, and blue eyes. Her flight deck is attached to one side while she launches her planes as hanafuda cards.
In her base form, she wears blue-colored Japanese clothes mixed with a modern blue skirt and a red belt with an anchor attached. She also wears regular white socks, heeled shoes, and a single black glove on her right hand.
For her retrofit form, see her corresponding page.
History
In real life, she was conceived as an improved Souryuu design to correct the seakeeping issues of the latter. Her island was located on the port side, one of the only two carriers in history (alongside Akagi) with that configuration.
Her aviators were primarily responsible for the sinking of Arizona in Pearl Harbor.
In the battle of Midway, she was the only one out of four spared the onslaught of the American dive bombers in the morning strike, trailing them on the way to the US carriers, where her aviators crippled Yorktown. A later afternoon strike finally put her out of action, and she was later scuttled with her Carrier Division commander Yamaguchi Tamon choosing to go down with her (although references to Tamon-maru are almost none in her Azur Lane incarnation).
