[[Kantai Collection]] character.

The Type IXC submarine of the [[Imperial Japanese Navy]] during World War II after being sold to them by Nazi Germany's [[Kriegsmarine]] on September 16, 1943.

Her design in comparison to [[U-511 (kancolle)|]] goes through a dramatic change. She now wears a [[school swimsuit]], a cropped [[serafuku]], slippers, a [[hair flower]] (a "satsuki azalea":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satsuki_azalea], reference to her code name of "Satsuki #1"), and a [[bracelet]]. She is seen holding a [[lifebuoy]] and a [[torpedo]] strapped to her. She also now has a [[one-piece tan]].

For Summer 2017, she obtained a seasonal CG which is shared to some level with her previous U-511 form. She wears a white two-piece swimsuit based on a school swimsuit under a heavy pink jacket, clearly revealing her tan lines. She also wears a pink bow where her flower should be. She is eating some [[ice cream]]. Damaging her simply gives her a [[brain freeze]].

She's still somewhat quiet and speaks softly, but now there's a warm confidence to her personality that wasn't present before.

Refers to herself as "Ro".

Often portrayed in fanart with [[i-58 (kancolle)|I-58]] due to her 10:00 hourly line where she calls I-58 "Decchi", I-58's verbal tic, thinking it's her nickname instead of Gouya, making I-58 mad.

Upon being acquired by Japan, the U-511, now RO-500, did not score any kills or have a combat record; she was instead kept as a piece of intelligence. German subs were almost all more advanced than their Japanese counterparts and various parts of U-511's design were used in the new and advanced I-201 class submarines.

Voiced by [[Kayano Ai]] and designed by [[Shimada Fumikane]].
