神威(艦隊これくしょん) 神威 カモイポロトカプ ゴールデン神威 神威(艦これ)
Kamoi is the personification of the fleet oiler / seaplane tender Kamoi in Kantai Collection. She was first introduced for the Spring 2017 event.
She has medium-length multicolored hair (white on the outside, blue on the inside and the eyebrows) with long sidelocks and blue eyes. Her hair is held as a folded ponytail with the help of her matanpus headband.
Each of her forms has her wear some variant of a blue cropped jacket over a long, sleeveless white dress with thighhighs. In her base form her thighhighs are black bandages. In her Kai form she wears thigh boots. In Kai Bo form her headband loses its pattern.
History
The Kamoi was actually one of a few Japanese ships in-game to be built abroad (currently, the only other is Kongou). In her case, at New York Shipbuilding Corporation, at the same time as Saratoga, before her conversion (for this reason, she is the key for building Saratoga with LSC). However, she shows very little traces of her birthland and instead acts as the token Ainu of the fleet. As a result, she is subject to crossovers with franchises heavily featuring the Ainu like Golden Kamuy or with related near-namesakes (Kanna Kamui is an example).
She also happened to be one of the ships assigned to the rescue operation involving Amelia Earhart in 1937 (she was then a seaplane tender). The order to search was cancelled due to a lack of information.
Trivia
She is illustrated by Akira and voiced by Seto Asami [瀬戸 麻沙美].
The Kamoi was named after Cape Kamui, itself named after the Ainu word referring to a divine spirit or a deity.
Her design is heavily influenced by the Ainu, featuring distinctive patterning as well as a few clothing items and objects. As her clothes show a decent amount of skin on the sides, her modest bust is often exaggerated to far larger, resulting in getting her own tag for art focusing on her breasts ("Kamoi poro tokap". Translated from ainu, "poro tokap" means "big breasts".)
She is the only ship in the game to change ship class three times as well as the only ship who irreversibly (but nominally) return to their original ship class. As Kai Bo, she is the only other ship other than Akitsushima to field Flying Boats.
