加賀 (Named after Kaga Province, now the southern part of Ishikawa Prefecture)
The WWII standard aircraft carrier of the same name, as personified in the browser game Kantai Collection. She was designed by Shibafu and is voiced by Iguchi Yuka.
She has long brown hair in a side ponytail and brown eyes, distinctively in tsurime. She wears a muneate over white and blue Japanese clothes, the sleeves of which are held back with a blue tasuki. She also wears an apron based on the stern end of her flight deck, with the kana "カ" inscribed on it. She wears black thighhighs.
Her combat gear is very similar to Akagi's (and, by extension, all of Shibafu's carriers') own gear: a traditional yumi bow, a quiver with a replica of the ship's mast, her full flight deck attached as a shield on her left arm and carrier-like geta.
An alternate hypothetical version of her by Aoshima, termed "Kaga 1944", serves to answer "What if Kaga survived Midway and got repainted into camouflage?". This version wears a dark blue top and a green hakama skirt, with her gear painted mostly in green and her flight deck in a camouflage similar to Zuikaku's.
For a campaign with Lawson in November 2016 involving the Kantai Collection Anime Movie, she was designated to wear a Lawson employee uniform (different from Kashima and Katori's) in tie-in merchandise.
Her personality is constantly serious and stoic; even in her sinking and damaged lines, her voice shows little to no emotion. In fan works, however, she is sometimes portrayed as not that different from Akagi, especially when it comes to food, since she actually has the higher resource consumption of the two.
Naturally, Kaga is often paired with Akagi, either as a lover or a platonic life partner, as they formed the 1st Carrier Division. Kaga is also frequently paired with Zuikaku, though their relationship is presented in many different ways, from lovers to friendly rivals to downright mutual antagonists. Another fairly common depiction is an adult Kaga caring for a younger Zuikaku.
Kaga was a converted battleship, and therefore had numerous structural and visual quirks. Her interior could get quite warm due to poor ventilation and an awkward layout, so many artists portray Kaga as having high body temperature or being warm to touch.
