[[Kantai Collection]]'s personification of the Japanese escort ship [i]No. 4[/i]. Nicknamed "Yotsu". Character designed by [[Hozuka (kadokawa)|]]. 

She has [[long_hair|long]] [[brown hair]] that is tied into [[low twintails]] but with [[hair rings]] at the ends and [[brown eyes]]. She wears a [[white headwear|white]] [[sailor hat]], a [[white dress|white]] [[sailor dress]] with a [[blue_sailor_collar|blue]] [[sailor collar]], blue accents, and a [[yellow bow]], [[white_legwear|white]] [[socks]], and a pair of [[uwabaki]]. Pinned to her left chest is a [[searchlight]]. Her [[machinery]] basically consists of a miniature version of her namesake ship slung to her left like a bag, an [[adapted turret]], and several [[depth charge]]s, one around each thigh and several in a canister near her person.

Despite being known only by a number, the historical escort ship made some contributions to Japan's war effort, having sunk two American submarines, USS [i][[Scamp_(kancolle)|]][/i] on November 11, 1944 and USS [i]Swordfish[/i] on January 4, 1945, although evidence for the latter is unclear. She was sunk by Royal Navy aircraft at Toba on July 28, 1945 and later salvaged and scrapped on June 30, 1948.
