hagikaze (kantai collection)
17th of the 19 Kagerou-class destroyers. Her name literally means "Clover Wind".
Hagikaze has a cheerful, eager, but feminine personality. She notably has an aversion to night - especially night battles - however, due to her historical sinking in a disastrous night ambush.
She has yellow eyes and long purple hair with an ahoge. Her hair is tied into a one side up similar to Kaga's side ponytail, continuing a Kantai Collection trend of matching a few traits from escort ships to the ships they escorted. (Other commentators note a distinct likeness to Shimamura Uzuki of iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls.)
Hagikaze wears clothing similar to other Kagerou-class destroyers, including a white blouse with a black vest, and a red neck ribbon. She also wears a black pleated skirt, white gloves, black thighhighs, and loafers. (Increasingly less) uncommonly for a destroyer, she also has breasts and can be seen to wear a purple bra when damaged.
Her combat gear includes a twin-cannon turret held with two handles on the sides and a purse-like strap, with a backpack-like mount for a smokestack that carries swing-arms for more turrets. On her thighs, she has additional anti-air guns strapped in garter belt-like arrangements.
The historical IJN Hagikaze was the escort of the IJN Kaga during the ill-fated Battle of Midway, and both rescued survivors and ultimately scuttled the carrier. She later went on to be sunk during the humiliating Battle of Vella Gulf, where American radar (and the Japanese lack thereof) resulted in a night battle where American forces achieved total surprise and were never struck by a single round of enemy fire. She sank alongside Kawakaze and her sister-ship Arashi, while Shigure escaped.
