[i][[Kantai Collection]][/i]'s personification of the Japanese destroyer [i]Amatsukaze[/i]. Character design by [[Shizuma Yoshinori]], voiced by [[Ogura Yui]].

h4. Appearance
[tn]See post #3228239 for base.[/tn]

She wears a (slightly see-through) [[brown_dress|brown]] and white version of [[yukikaze (kancolle)|Yukikaze's]] [[short_dress|short]] [[sailor dress]] with a beige scarf decorated with a tiny [[lifebuoy]]. She also wears maroon [[thighhighs]] with white stripes near the brim. Below her [[short_dress|dress]] is a strap contraption which holds her [[thighhighs]] and her tiny hat in place. Said hat is a tiny smokestack which is placed on top of her head, off-center to the right. On her back is an oversized quadruple torpedo launcher and hanging as a purse is [[Rensouhou-kun]], a sentient turret whom is encased in a ship-like hull with her name written right-to-left in katakana.

She has [[long_hair|long]] [[white hair|white]] or [[grey hair]] in a [[two side up]] hairstyle, decorated with windsocks acting as [[hair tubes]].

For her kai ni, see the [[Amatsukaze kai ni (kancolle)|corresponding page]]. 

h4. Personality and history
As the testbed for [[shimakaze (kancolle)|Shimakaze]]'s turbines, she is, in a way, Shimakaze's elder sister. This is indeed reflected in-game with both incarnations coming with enhanced boilers as stock equipment.

Implied to be a [[tsundere]], she likes breezes. She is often drawn as a group with Shimakaze, Yukikaze and [[tokitsukaze (kancolle)|Tokitsukaze]] (Test bed for the former and her immediate elder and younger sisters respectively for the latter two), whom are seen (in various combinations) in fanart hanging out together or more often competing for Amatsukaze's attention. Her personality and gradual easing up to the admiral actually reflect how she was historically presumed sunk after a submarine attack in January 1944 only to be found six days later and towed to safety.
