h4. Personality and history
In real life, the destroyer Hatsukaze was sunk in an accidental collision with [[myoukou (kancolle)|Myoukou]]. Because of this (and the general fact that most destroyers have little that distinguishes them from the dozens of other destroyers), she frequently refers to "Myoukou-onee-san," either running to Myoukou any time there is trouble, or saying that enemies aren't nearly as scary as Myoukou-onee-san. Because the collision specifically sheared off her bow, she is also often depicted with a [[disembodied head]].
