The [[submarine]] [i]I-8[/i] (伊8) in [i][[Kantai Collection]][/i].

She wears a [[school swimsuit]] with a [[name tag]] on it along with [[white legwear|white]] [[thighhighs]] and a [[peaked cap]]. She has medium-length [[blonde hair]] in [[low twintails]]. She also has [[blue eyes]] framed with [[glasses]]. Much like her sister I-19, she's [[Large Breasts|well-endowed]] for her frame, though her art downplays that.

Her nickname is "Hachi" (simply "eight" in Japanese). She will usually refer to herself as "Hacchan". Sometimes, she will refer to herself as "Acht" ("eight" in German) by mistake.

Her historical counterpart having made a round trip between Japan and Germany, several of her lines are peppered with German (like [[Kongou (kancolle)|]] with English and [[Hibiki (kancolle)|]] with Russian). She is also an avid reader, which is translated as torpedoes launching out of books.

Sometimes referred to as "War crime-chan", as the crew that replaced the ones that made the round trip to Germany were convicted of murdering the survivors of the SS [i]Tjisalak[/i] and SS [i]Jean Nicholet[/i].
