[b]菊月[/b] ("[i]Chysanthemum Moon[/i]", another word for September)

Kikuzuki is the ninth ship of the [i]Mutsuki[/i]-class destroyers in [i][[Kantai Collection]][/i].

The latter [i]Mutsuki[/i]-class wear a [[black serafuku]] with a white tie and a [[crescent pin]] on themselves.

Kikuzuki herself has long [[white hair]], [[black pantyhose]] and the [[crescent pin]] on her shirt's belt. She also seems to lack the white tie. As for Kikuzuki's personality she is very reserved and laconic with most of her dialogue sounding unenthusiastic. She shows a prominent dislike for war and fighting.

The historical [i]Kikuzuki[/i] is one of the few IJN shipwrecks to be identified, and one of the only [[World War II]] ships to be visible above water. A google map photo view of her along with photos of the wreck and a summary of her history can be viewed "here":http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=-9.123654&lon=160.237640&z=18&m=b&permpoly=16245004&show=/16245004/Wreck-of-HIJMS-Kikuzuki-%28%E8%8F%8A%E6%9C%88%29. Additionally, in 2016, numerous parts from Kikuzuki were recovered by a Japanese team, including her deck gun
