"Circled [i]Yu[/i]" Her name is actually represented as the character "ゆ" ("yu") within a circle.

One of many "Type 3 submergence transport vehicles":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_3_submergence_transport_vehicle in [i][[Kantai Collection]][/i].

As a character, she has [[parted_bangs|parted]] [[short_hair|short]] [[black hair]] and [[brown eyes]]. She wears a [[white school swimsuit]] with a red encircled "yu" painted on her chest as well as a [[diving mask]] and a [[flotation belt]]. Carries a transport container in her left hand and an [[FP-45 Liberator]] pistol in her right.

She gained her first seasonal CG for Christmas 2016 with a completely white outfit consisting of a [[double-breasted]] [[white_coat|coat]], [[white_legwear|white]] [[thighhighs]] and a [[santa hat]] with the only colored item being a green [[bowtie]] with very long ends. She is carrying a [[sack]] full of [[gift|presents]]. Her Damaged CG shows her holding some presents as if to give them to the player.

Historically, the Maru-Yu submarines were of a highly unusual design, and initial tests failed to get the prototype Maru-Yus to actually submerge, causing many Maru-Yu jokes to involve her only managing to get her head underwater while her legs still flail above water.  [[kiso (kancolle)|Kiso]] was nearby in the test runs, and Kiso's crew made jokes about the Maru-Yu's strange shape, causing some artists to treat Kiso as some sort of senpai to Maru-Yu because of it.
