The personification of the second of the [i]Hiburi-class[/i] coastal defense ships in [i][[Kantai Collection]][/i].

The Hiburi-class wear a [[white dress|white]] [[short sleeves|short-sleeved]] [[sailor dress]] with blue [[sailor collar|collar]] and accents, along with a [[sailor hat]], short, [[white legwear|white]] [[socks]], and [[uwabaki]]. Their rigging is carried via a shoulder strap, and depth charges are strapped to their thighs.

Daitou herself has [[short hair|short]] [[bob cut|bob-like]] [[black hair]] with a [[high ponytail]] at the back that is not obvious from the front and [[sidelocks]], and greenish [[blue eyes]].

Unlike her sister [[hiburi (kancolle)|Hiburi]], Daitou is very energetic and eager to battle, somewhat like her near-[[look-alike]] [[miyuki (kancolle)|Miyuki]] but a bit rowdier. She messes around a lot and has to have her sister look after her.

Her historic namesake was launched in June 1944 and was quickly worked up and soon set to work escorting convoys. She survived several sub and air attacks to be still intact when Japan surrendered. She worked post-war as a minesweeper and struck a mine in the Tsushima Straits in November 1945, breaking in two.
