子日 ("New Year's day")

Nenohi is the second ship of the [i][[hatsuharu (kancolle)|Hatsuharu]][/i]-class destroyers in [i][[Kantai Collection]][/i].

h4. Appearance
She wears a one-piece [[sailor dress]] over a [[bodysuit]] cut to t-shirt and [[bike shorts]] length (essentially the negative of [[hatsuharu (kancolle)|Hatsuharu]]'s gloves and thighhighs). Her hands are bandaged and she holds her cannons from the inside like [[arm_cannon|arm cannons]]. She has [[long_hair|long]] [[pink hair]] in a [[single braid]]. She has ear-like headgear hovering over the sides of her head. Her gear usually glows a light blue or cyan.

A very energetic girl, she tends to use her name in a joke. In fact, it's her single gag, characteristic catchphrase and verbal tic in one.  ("What day is today? Nenohi/New Year's Day!")

Appropriately, her first seasonal art has been released for New Year 2016. She wears a furisode top with a multifloral print over bike shorts. She wears [[half gloves]] and holds her single gun, hanging from a belt.

h4. History
The second of the [i]Hatsuharu[/i]-class built, [i]Nenohi[/i] was actually the first launched. Commissioned on the same day as her sister on 30 September 1933, their trials and initial operations revealed severe stability and maneuverability problems arising from IJN specifications to have them carry identical armament to the larger [i]Fubuki[/i]-class on a lighter displacement. These problems forced the pair into a refit that saw their tall bridges, funnels, and masts lowered while one of their three triple torpedo mounts was removed.

At the start of the war, she was assigned with her sisters as Destroyer Division 21 and saw action in the Dutch East Indies and Aleutian campaigns, the latter was where she was sunk by a US submarine on 4 July 1942, with [[Inazuma (Kancolle)|]] rescuing her survivors.
