kitakaze (azur lane)

Azur Lane's personification of the Japanese destroyer Kitakaze, as part of the World of Warships collaboration.
Character design by Kinjo Kuromomo, voiced by Tange Sakura.

She is portrayed with short grey hair and green eyes, animal ears, and a pet pigeon dressed in a serafuku. Her default outfit consists of a blue cape, blue tube top, white detached sleeves, white pleated skirt, brown pantyhose, rudder footwear, and a yellow hair ribbon.

Her rigging consists of several armor pieces of her hull attached to the cape, 610 mm sextuple torpedo tubes to her left, and four 100 mm twin DP mounts with two on each side and fashioned with shide. She also uses two wakizashi on her left rig and an ootachi as her melee weapons.

Trivia and history

She represents the V7 Project, which fixes the existing Akizuki-class destroyers speed, performance and Anti Submarine Warfare; retaining the same rapid firing 10cm Type 98 with upgraded Anti air including the 40mm Type 5 Bofors installed in the existing class with the addition of the real life 610 mm quad torpedo launchers with sextuple (six-tube) launchers. Such a prototype launcher was indeed meant for Shimakaze but weight issues prevented this, while the intended real-life improved/simplified Akizukis were cancelled in mid-1944.
