The escort ship Fukae, the tenth of the Etorofu-class of coastal defense ships, as depicted in [i][[Kantai Collection]][/i].

h4. Apperance

Fukae has [[short_hair|short]] [[blue_hair|blue]] [[gradient hair]] with a short [[side ponytail]] tied to her right, [[sidelocks]], and [[brown eyes|brown]] [[tsurime]] eyes. She wears a [[serafuku]] similar to [[Etorofu (kancolle)|Etorofu]]'s: an elementary school serafuku with prominent [[buttons]], with a [[hat]] bearing a [[blue ribbon]] , [[blue_neckerchief|light blue]] [[neckerchief]] which is less wide than Etorofu's, [[white gloves]], and [[blue_skirt|blue]] [[pleated skirt]]. She differs from Etorofu by wearing a shirt with [[short sleeves]], [[black socks|black]] [[kneehighs]], and a single [[arm_warmers|arm warmer]] covering her right arm.

Her [[machinery|rigging]] is similar to Etorofu's. It involves a pistol-like single-[[cannon]] [[turret]] held in her right hand.  A [[mast]] and [[smokestack]] are carried on her back by straps like a backpack, while depth charge launchers are held like a purse from another strap.  An anti-air gun is [[thigh_strap|strapped]] to her right thigh, and more depth charges are strapped to her left.

h4. Personality

As a coastal defense ship, her class is even smaller than destroyers, and as such, she is portrayed as an "elementary school student" character, even younger than the generally "middle school" appearances of the destroyers. Fukae has a very prideful and optimistic personality.

h4. History

The historical [i]IJN Fukae[/i] was launched in April 1943 and immediately set to convoy work after completion in July. She survived the War and was used for repatriation until 1947 when she was handed to the UK and scrapped. 

h4. Trivia

She was introduced into the game on May 15, 2018, remarkably the only new shipgirl introduced during the Spring 2018 Mini-event at the time.

She is named after "Fukue Island":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukue_Island] (known as [i]Fukae[/i] during WWII), the southernmost of the Gotou Islands in Nagasaki Prefecture which are part of the city of Gotou.
