hachijou (kancolle)
Kantai Collection's personification of the Japanese escort ship Hachijou. Character design by Ugume, voiced by Takao Kanon.
She has short brown hair tied by black hair ribbons, and blue eyes. Her default outfit is the class' uniform: a white shirt, fur-trimmed green jacket, red neck ribbon, green pleated skirt, white socks, and black mary janes.
Her rigging consists of her funnel and foremast to her back, two hull pieces each containing a 12 cm single gun mount and 25 mm triple anti-aircraft guns, and depth charges on her ankles.
The historical IJN Hachijou was commissioned in late March 1941, mostly patrolling the northern waters of Japan and escorted convoys. She survived an air attack in July 1944 and went on to survive the war, although she was scrapped in 1948 apparently having sat idle by that time.
