初月 初月(艦これ) 初月(艦隊これくしょん)
[i][[Kantai Collection]][/i]'s personification of the Japanese destroyer [i]Hatsuzuki[/i]. Character design by [[Shizuma Yoshinori]], voiced by [[Nakajima Megumi]]. 

h4. Appearance and personality
She has [[short_hair|short]] [[brown hair]] with strands tied to look like [[hair_flaps|horns]] along with grayish [[yellow eyes]].

She wears the same [i]Akizuki[/i]-class uniform ([[black sailor collar]] on a [[white shirt]], [[black skirt|black]] [[pleated skirt]], grey [[corset]], [[rudder footwear]]) except with slight different tones of grey and a black [[neckerchief]]. Under her uniform appears to be a black full-body [[bodysuit]] fully covering her arms and legs. She doesn't wear the gloves as her bodysuit also covers her hands. Her fire director is attached to her right wrist. Her [[rigging]] consists of quad 610 mm [[torpedo tubes]] to her back, plus two hull pieces with her own pair of [[Chou-10cm-hou-chan_(hatsuzuki's)|]].

Hatsuzuki is a "bokukko", and refers to herself with the "typically young boy" pronoun of "boku". She has a stoic, serious, and taciturn personality, similar in some respects to [[Kaga (kancolle)|Kaga]], however she has a far more selfless and humble personality. This is likely due to all her service escorting, and her final mission in Leyte Gulf ending in a "last stand" sacrifice so the survivors of [i]Zuikaku[/i] could escape.
