Kiso is the fifth and last ship of the [i]Kuma[/i]-class light cruisers in [i][[Kantai Collection]][/i].
Character design by [[Ugume]], voiced by [[Sakura Ayane]].

h4. Appearance
The Kuma-class (sans [[Kitakami (kancolle)|]] and [[Ooi (kancolle)|]]) wears a white and green [[serafuku]] with shorts for Kuma and Tama and a skirt for Kiso.

Kiso herself has [[short_hair|short]] dark [[blue hair]] or [[green hair]], wears an [[eyepatch]] over her right eye and wears a [[single pauldron]] on her right shoulder. Her left eye is [[green eyes|green]]. She also wears a [[hat]].

In [[Kiso Kai Ni (Kancolle)|her Kai Ni form]], she gains a [[cape]] and a [[cutlass]] as well as a more ornate eyepatch and four quintuple torpedo launchers. At various places, her ship parts, rigging and cape are painted to a winter [[camouflage]] which resembles a zebra's lines. Getting her damaged reveals that [[heterochromia|her right eye is]] [[yellow eyes|yellow]] instead of green (probably a fake as well).

h4. Personality
Kiso doesn't use a verbal tic herself but she is often coerced by her elder sisters to use one ("I am Kiso... -kiso!"). 

She is often paired with [[Maru-Yu (kancolle)|]], due to an anecdotal incident with some of the historic Maru-Yu-class sub's first dives. Kiso's crew apparently looked on in disbelief that the Maru-Yu even was a sub or could dive. Artists often treat Kiso as Maru-Yu's senpai and role model.  

She is also occasionally paired with [[Tenryuu (kancolle)|]] due to their similar personalities and their eyepatches. Aside of the eyepatch, she is the spitting image of [[murasa_minamitsu|a certain captain]]. Considering that her artist has drawn Murasa in the past, this might not be a coincidence. In her Kai-2 form, she also resembles [[harlock|yet another captain]].
