Ninth ship of the Shiratsuyu-class destroyers, IJN [i]Kawakaze[/i] (江風), as she appears in [i][[Azur Lane]][/i].

Kawakaze in story serves as the bodyguard for [[Nagato (azur lane)|Nagato]]. Her demeanor is typically much colder in comparison to her sisters, likely as a result of such a serious duty.

As she was designed by [[Nagishiro Mito]], she [[creator_connection|bears a striking resemblance]] to [[Shirakami Fubuki]], seemingly [[look-alike]]s (they are both variants to the artist's monochrome-style [[fox girl]] design). While it has been pointed out long ago, it came even further to light when the latter became available in the game via a collaboration event in December 2019, Fubuki even having a line pointing this out.
