The personification of the [[Imperial Japanese Army]] escort [[aircraft carrier]] [i]Akitsu Maru[/i] in [[Kantai Collection]].

She has [[short hair|short]] [[black hair]] along with [[grey eyes|grey]]/[[black eyes]] and [[pale skin]].

In her unremodeled state, she sports a grey [[military uniform]] complete with [[peaked cap]], a [[pleated skirt]] and a pair of [[thighhighs]] with a pair of white [[sneakers]] along with a white [[randoseru]] and a pouch. Attached to her hips are grey ship parts. She holds what appears to be her deck. In this state, she operates [[Daihatsu (landing craft)|Daihatsu-class landing craft]].

In her [[Akitsu Maru Kai (Kancolle)|remodeled state]], her uniform changes to black in colour, while her backpack is turned red, her ship parts went from grey to green, platforms are added under her sneakers and [[large breasts|her breasts are larger]]. She gains a flight deck in the form of a scroll made out of two halves of a flight deck, a drawing of her flight deck on the scroll as well as [[siddham]] writing all over both parts. She now holds a revolving [[lantern]]. In this state she gains the ability to operate aircraft, specifically the [[Kokusai Ki-76]] scout plane, the [[Kayaba Ka-1]] [[autogyro]], and notably all types of fighter aircraft, as well as her Daihatsu.

She looks drastically different than the rest of the entire cast of shipgirls with her pure white skin and contrasting clothing, which makes it easy to mistake her as an [[abyssal ship]]. Many have noticed that she also uncannily resembles [[Kuzunoha Raidou]] from [[Devil Summoner (series)|]].

Voiced by [[Noto Mamiko]] and drawn by [[Kuuro Kuro]].
