大鯨 ("Great Whale")
Submarine Tender Taigei, later known as Light Aircraft Carrier Ryuuhou, in Kantai Collection.
Voiced by Ogura Yui.
She wears a white and blue serafuku with a red neckerchief (identical to Shigure Kai2's) under an apron with a picture of a whale on it. A whale-shaped pin is placed on the apron, at the level of her right kidney. On her back is her smokestack and a crane, hanging from her right shoulder is a bag full of torpedoes (presumably to refill her submarines, considering that she cannot use them) and she holds a bucket full of veggies. On her neck is either a tiny whale necklace or a blue magatama. Additionally, she wears black pantyhose and sandals.
Both of her seasonal art are shared with her Ryuuhou form, as a red/magenta version of the normally navy blue costumes below.
Summer 2016 gives her a bikini styled like her serafuku along with a hibiscus-patterned sarong and a sun hat. On her hat is her whale clip (The Ryuuhou form replaces this with a flower).
Saury Event 2016 gives her a kimono (in yagasuri) and hakama attire along with her usual apron, ready to grill sauries (The Ryuuhou version replaces the whale print on the apron with what appears to be a flower print).
She has dark purple hair with low twintails, feathered hair flaps and an ahoge as well as red eyes.
Attempts to obtain her are unsurprisingly called "Whaling". She is also one of four shipgirls who change names after remodelling and one of several shipgirls who functions differently after remodelling. Also noted for her resemblance to Shigure (especially her Kai2).
