[[Kantai Collection]] character. The personification of the Japanese seaplane tender [i]Akitsushima[/i].

She has [[purple eyes]] and [[long hair|long]] [[purple hair|purplish]]-[[grey hair]] pulled into a [[side ponytail]] off to her left with an [[ahoge]], [[sidelocks]], and [[hair ornament]] on top.  She also has a very long [[hair ribbon]] on her right with two dangling [[anchor]]s.  She wears a mint green-and-white [[military uniform]] with black trim that includes a double-breasted [[jacket]] and [[pleated skirt]]. She wears [[thighhighs]] and a [[garters|garter]] on one leg to create a [[zettai ryouiki]] effect.  

In her [[machinery|combat gear]], she wears a small ship-like device strapped to her side by a clamp-like device attached to her hip. The most prominent features of the mini-ship are a large [[crane (machine)|]] and a double-[[cannon]] [[turret]] near the back and front of the deck, respectively. She also wears red [[rudder footwear|rudder-heeled]] shoes.

Her clothes and gear's coloring is based on the actual ship's peculiarly garish camouflage.

Her "familiar" is [[Nishikitaitei-chan]], a [[flying boat]] nearly as large as herself that has a [[Rensouhou-chan]]-like face on its left side that she carries with her. 

For New Year 2016, she gained a new seasonal CG (post #2229938) consisting of her wearing a [[furisode]] with a pattern based on the actual ship's features including her crane, anchor and camouflage. Meanwhile, her flying boat is [[shishimai|dressed for a lion dance]]. This artwork was updated for 2017 with the main change being Akitsushima's furisode being patterned after her own flying boat.

For a promotion with [[Nakau]], she was given a new CG (post #2505390) where she is sitting on the left engines of her flying boat with a serving of Nakau's oyakodon, Akitsushima presenting a stickful to the player. Upon being damaged (post #2505392), she holds a serving of tea, her bowl replacing her usual hat.

Character design by [[Shizuma Yoshinori]], voiced by [[Komatsu Mikako]].
