zuikaku (kancolle)

瑞鶴 瑞鶴(艦隊これくしょん) 瑞鶴(艦これ) 年中瑞加賀祭

Kantai Collection's personification of the Japanese aircraft carrier Zuikaku. Character design by Konishi, voiced by Nomizu Iori.

She has long dark green hair in twintails, yellow/green eyes, and small breasts/flat chest. Her default outfit is a nontraditional miko set comprising a white kimono top, red hakama short skirt, black thigh boots with rudder and propeller parts, brown yugake, and a black muneate with her identifier "Zu" marked on it.

Her rigging consists of her flight deck on her left arm, her real-life hull to her back and used as a quiver, and multiple anti-aircraft gun placements on her waist and thigh boots.

In contrast with her sister ship Shoukaku, Zuikaku is depicted as a brash, hot-headed, reckless, and somewhat tomboyish girl, in reference with her turbulent wartime career, in which she was credited for damaging and sinking several ships, but usually at a cost of large numbers of airmen.

She is frequently portrayed as a turkey and her in-game line "don't call me a turkey" is widely used as a joke on 4chan and 2channel. This stems from the IJN's notoriously poor performance in the battle of the Philippine Sea, where well-trained USN aviators referred to fighting inexperienced IJN pilots as a "turkey shoot".

Her abyssal form is assumed to be the Abyssal Crane Princess.
