[[Kantai Collection]]'s personification of the Japanese heavy cruiser [i]Kumano[/i]. Character design by [[Konishi (koconatu)]], voiced by [[Bridcutt Sarah Emi]].

h4. Appearance
[tn]See post #1624391 for CA base and post #1624393 for CAV kai.[/tn]

In-game, she has [[long hair|long]] [[brown hair]] in a [[ponytail]] and [[blue eyes]]. Like [[Suzuya (kancolle)|Suzuya]], she wears a brown [[school uniform]] ([[brown shirt|brown]] [[collared shirt]], [[brown skirt]], brown [[thighhighs]]) and [[black footwear|black]] shoes.

Her [[rigging]] consists of all five 20.3 cm twin gun mounts plus two 12.7 cm twin [[anti-aircraft gun|dual-purpose mounts]] at base form but she discards the two left arm-mounted 20.3 cm mounts at kai form in favor of a [[flight deck]].

She received her [[Kumano Kai Ni (Kancolle)|second remodels]] on June 6, 2017. See the page for more details. While in the same vein as [[Mogami (Kancolle)|]]'s first remodel, she and Suzuya require blueprints due to them not historically receiving the same CAV upgrade.

h4. Personality
In stark contrast to her sister Suzuya, she speaks in a respectful and formal manner, evoking an ojou-sama type. However, she screams like a dolphin in battle. The scream itself is a meme.
