沖波 "High Seas Waves"

[i]Okinami[/i] is the fourteenth ship of the [i]Yuugumo[/i]-class destroyers in [[Kantai Collection]]. 
Character design by [[Fujikawa]], voiced by [[Kitou Akari]]. 

h4. Personality and appearance
Okinami is something of a [[dojikko]], albeit not as much as [[inazuma (kancolle)|Inazuma]] or [[samidare (kancolle)|Samidare]].  While eager, she is self-deprecating (going so far as to apologize if she gains MVP), and constantly worries about her [[glasses]] to an absurd degree, even above her own health.

She has [[short_hair|short]] [[multicolored hair]], [[brown_hair|brown]] or [[black_hair|black]] on the outside and [[pink_hair|pink]] inside. She has [[green eyes]] and wears [[blue-framed_eyewear|blue framed glasses]]. In terms of clothing, Okinami wears the same [[school uniform]] as her Yuugumo-class sisters, consisting of a purple [[sleeveless dress]] over a [[white shirt]] with a blue [[bowtie]], [[grey_legwear|grey]] opaque or [[purple_legwear|purple]] [[pantyhose]] and [[lace-up boots]].

Okinami is the sixth of her class to gain a second remodel, receiving hers on March 19, 2020. See the page for more details.

h4. History
The real-life [i]Okinami[/i] was completed December 10th, 1943.  Her most significant achievement is rescuing survivors from [[suzuya (kancolle)|Suzuya]], and towing [[kumano (kancolle)|Kumano]] to safety during the Battle of Leyte Gulf.  In an air raid on Manila Bay, Okinami was struck and partially sunk in the shallow waters on November 13th, 1944. Along with Akishimo, Hatsuharu, Akebono, Satsuki, Kiso, and Nachi, which sank very close nearby, the IJN never refloated her, and she was eventually scrapped after the war.
