[b]朝雲[/b] ([i]Morning Cloud[/i])

The personification of the fifth of ten [i]Asashio[/i]-class destroyers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy in the mid-1930s under the Circle Two Supplementary Naval Expansion Program. [i]Asagumo[/i] originally led the 9th Destroyer Division. Voiced by "Horie Yui":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yui_Horie.

In [[Kantai Collection]] Asagumo has [[long_hair|long]] [[brown hair]] in [[twintails]] tied with [[hair ribbon]]s and [[grey eyes]]. She wears a [[white shirt]] with a blue [[ascot]] and a grey [[pleated skirt]] held up by [[suspenders]].  She wears short [[black_thighhighs|black]] [[over-kneehighs]] and brown [[loafers]] with keels. Her [[machinery|combat gear]] includes a wrist-mounted twin-gun [[turret]] on her right arm and a quad torpedo launcher on her left. She wears a mock-up of her bridge like a backpack. Her visual appearance doesn't change much in her Kai, gaining only a white stripe on her skirt and a change of the small machinery ornaments on her hips.

There is an ongoing joke that she looks very similar to [[Error Musume]] in appearance. 

Participated in the first task force going into the Battle of Surigao Straight, of which only [[shigure (kancolle)|Shigure]] survived.  She tried to rescue the survivors of the [[fusou (kancolle)|Fusou]], even though her fuel had ignited, only to be sunk soon afterwards herself, killing nearly everyone from both ships.  She may appear with the Fusou sisters or Shigure for that reason.

On November 27, 2017 the likely wreck of the Asagumo would be discovered by the RV Petrel, Paul Allen's primary research and discovery ship, far south in Surigao Straight. Mr. Allen was the man who led the discovery teams for Musashi, Indianapolis and Yamashiro.
