The German destroyer Z1 Leberecht Maass as personified in [[Kantai Collection]].
Character design by [[Shimada Fumikane]], voiced by [[Endou Aya]].

h4. Appearance
In-game, Z1 Leberecht Maass has [[short_hair|short]] [[grey hair]] and [[blue eyes]]. She wears a [[sailor hat]] that has her [[clothes_writing|name written on it]] and a [[sailor dress]] that matches [[z3 max schultz (kancolle)|Z3 Max Schultz's]].

"Humikane's 4th Anniversary art":/posts/2702872 gives her the same summer attire that Z3 Max Schultz wore: a white [[sailor bikini]] with a white version of her sailor cap with an additional striped bow and a smiley face for the dot on her hat. In addition to that, she wears a [[pleated skirt|pleated]] [[microskirt]] over her [[side-tie bikini bottom]] and carries a leather case filled with [[tupet|tupets]] (Z3's own case doesn't seem to be containing anything). A version with a similar gear configuration to Summer Z3 was eventually used as her own Summer CG, with her own cooler in dazzle camouflage containing what seems to be ice cream (It has "Eiskrem" written in Blackletter on it instead of the correct "Speiseeis" and, even with the cooler open, we never see the stuff). Upon being damaged, she is being airdropped tupets, one being lodged between her buttocks. This also implies that the leather case on both Z1 and Z3 is actually a replacement for a torpedo launcher.

She is often depicted as a [[otoko no ko|trap]] in fanart due to her somewhat masculine voice and mannerisms along with her [[androgynous]] looks.

She is the second Kriegsmarine vessel introducted into the game along with [[bismarck (kancolle)|Bismarck]] and [[z3 max schultz (kancolle)|Z3 Max Schultz]].

h4. History
Her namesake (as well as that of her historical counterpart) was the rear admiral in charge of the German naval forces against the British in the "Battle of Heligoland Bight":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Heligoland_Bight_(1914), where he lost his life.
The real-life Z1 was herself sunk in February 1940 when a Luftwaffe bomber mistakenly bombed her while en route to an anti-shipping operation.
