[b]最上[/b] (Named after the Mogami River, lit. [i]"Best"[/i])

The lead ship of the [i]Mogami-class[/i] heavy cruisers in [i][[Kantai Collection]][/i]. 
Character design by [[Shibafu (glock23)]], voiced by [[Suzaki Aya]].

h4. Personality
Mogami is a frank, upbeat, energetic, and tomboyish girl. Due to having collided three times in her historic service, she's also commonly portrayed as quite clumsy, and too eager to watch where's she's going. Although all three collisions were with three different ships, collisions with [[Mikuma (kancolle)|Mikuma]] are most commonly portrayed, as she is a sister-ship, and artists tend to keep sisters in their own cliques. Because of her short hair, boyish tone and the fact she wears shorts, she is often portrayed as the target of rumors of being a boy, or outright portrayed as one.

h4. Appearance
Appearance-wise, Mogami has [[short_hair|short]], [[blue_hair|blue]]-[[green hair]] with [[swept bangs]], similarly-colored [[blue_eyes|blue]]-[[green eyes]] (although some artists draw her with [[black hair]] and [[brown eyes]], making her look more Japanese), and [[small breasts]].  She wears a dark red [[long_sleeves|long sleeved]] [[sailor shirt]] with a darker red [[sailor collar]], brown [[shorts]], [[black_socks|black]] [[kneehighs]], and black [[lace-up_boots|lace-up]] [[boots]].  

Her [[machinery|combat gear]] consists of a triple- or double-[[cannon|gun]] [[turret]] in either hand, and another pair of turrets strapped to her thighs. Historically Mogami's 15.5 cm triple-gun turrets were replaced with 20 cm double-gun turrets during her 1939-40 refit, and this is reflected in her in-game remodel. During her upgrade, she also loses a turret to gain a [[flight deck]] with three [[aircraft]] on it. In a backpack-like setup, she has a bridge and [[smokestack]] with a [[radar]] array sticking up off her mast.

h4. [[mogami kai ni (kancolle)|Mogami Kai Ni]]
Mogami was the third of her class to be given her [[remodel_(kantai_collection)|second remodel]] on March 30, 2021. See the page for more details.

h4. History
Historically, she was part of the first wave of ships in the notoriously ill-fated sortie up Surigao Strait. After the first wave was annihilated (except for Mogami and [i][[Shigure (kancolle)|Shigure]][/i]) the admiral leading the second wave ordered a panicked retreat, causing the flagship [i]Nachi[/i] to abruptly swing into the fleeing [i]Mogami[/i]'s path, causing a collision that crippled [i]Mogami[/i]. [i]Mogami[/i] was left behind to be destroyed by American aircraft.
