I-13, is the first of only two Type-AM submarines actually completed (alongside [[i-14 (kancolle)|sister-ship I-14]]), as portrayed in [[Kantai Collection]].  Like other submarines with numbers instead of names, she has a "goroawase":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_wordplay#Goroawase] nickname, "Hitomi". 
Character design by [[Shizuma Yoshinori]], voiced by [[Imamura Ayaka]].

h4. Personality
"Hitomi" has a cripplingly shy personality that lacks any self-confidence, with her in-game lines broken by pauses as she struggles to continue speaking up, likely due to her ship's very short history.  Her in-game lines also connect her firmly to her sister-ship, I-14/"Iyo", with Hitomi, somewhat like [[zara (kancolle)|Zara]], being unable to rein in her younger sister.

h4. Appearance
I-13 has [[brown_eyes|brown]] [[tsurime]] eyes and [[short_hair|short]] [[black hair]] with [[hair_between_eyes|bangs that come down between the eyes]], and a [[asymmetrical_hair|single long strand on her left side]] (contrasting with her sister-ship's right).  I-13 wears a [[school swimsuit]] with "イ１３" emblazoned over her hip.  Over this, she wears a serafuku-style [[shirt]] with [[breast_cutout|a large cut-out for her chest]].  

On her head, she wears [[headphones]] with a [[hat]] shaped like a submarine's bow. On her arms, she has a miniature "submarine sail":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sail_(submarine)] strapped to her right upper arm, and [[partially fingerless gloves]] on her hands.  Metal rings are on her thighs, and she wears toeless [[high heel boots]] whose heels are ship keels. 

h4. History
The historical IJN [i]I-13[/i] had a severely short history, being commissioned only on December 16th, 1944, after the [[Imperial Japanese Navy]] had already lost its capacity to contest the USN's advance at "Leyte Gulf":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Leyte_Gulf].  The only mission [i]I-13[/i] attempted to undertake was "a mission to secretly deliver":[http://codenames.info/operation/hikari/] a pair of [[C6N Saiun]] aircraft to the Truk Naval Base. After departing for its first mission on July 11th, 1945, [i]I-13[/i] was never heard from again, and was presumed sunk in an anti-submarine warfare operation performed by the escort carrier USS [i]Anzio[/i] on July 16th. Her abyssal counterpart ([[Abyssal Twin Princess (white)]]) is also presumed killed by the player in her final form and it references the real life I-13's fate.

Fans have taken notice that her and I-14's hat look very similar to the Pokémon [[Garchomp]].
