五月雨 "Early Summer Rain"

Samidare was the sixth of the ten [[shiratsuyu (kancolle)|Shiratsuyu-class]] destroyers, and is [[personification|personified]] in [i][[Kantai Collection]][/i].

She is one of the five "starter ships":/pools/9823 that admirals can choose when starting a new game.

Samidare has [[very long hair|very long]] [[blue hair]] with a [[gradient_hair|gradient]] (lighter at the bottom) that notably spirals towards the bottom.  She also has [[swept bangs]] and very large [[blue eyes]]. 

She wears a special [[sleeveless shirt]] version of a [[serafuku]] with a white skirt unique to her and her younger sister, [[suzukaze (kancolle)|Suzukaze]]. She also wears [[elbow gloves]] and [[black thighhighs]] to create a [[zettai ryouiki]]. Her [[machinery|battle kit]] includes two pistol-like double-barreled [[cannon]] [[turret]]s, and an oversized backpack-like torpedo launcher.

The historical destroyer Samidare committed friendly fire against [[hiei (kancolle)|Hiei]] and collided with Shiratsuyu, giving her the in-game personality trait of klutziness. For example, in her Christmas 2015 and Valentines 2016 voice lines, she is heard dropping a cake. In fanon however, [[inazuma (kancolle)|Inazuma]] far overshadows her in this regard, so she tends to be more the quiet "beautiful hair" girl. Occasionally though, she's shown "causing trouble for Hiei":/posts/1719206. Historically, Samidare rescued the survivors from [[yuubari (kancolle)|Yuubari]], so the two are frequently depicted together, often in a big sister/little sister or romantic relationship.
