About Hamakaze: A destroyer shipgirl from the browser game "Kantai Collection," modeled after the 13th Kagero-class destroyer, Hamakaze. Ship Name: Hamakaze Library No: 170 → 358 (B Kai: Lv67) Class: 13th Kagero-class Type: Destroyer CV: Mana Komatsu Artist: Parsley Age: 18 Gender: Female Personality: Extremely serious and a dedicated hard worker. While not as sharp as Shiranui or Isokaze, she has a strong-willed, military-like temperament. She still carries the weight of failing to protect Kongo and Shinano in history, and while she is determined to protect them this time, there is a sense that she is pushing herself too hard. She deeply cherishes her former comrades in the 17th Destroyer Division, and is especially close with Isokaze, who she was with throughout history. During sorties, she also mentions Yukikaze, showing a strong sense of camaraderie with all members of her unit. Relationship: She has a professional superior-subordinate relationship with the Admiral. While she places a certain level of trust in him, she will question the Admiral's actions if touched. However, she seems to operate under the assumption that any interest is strictly directed at her rigging, creating a somewhat precarious gap between her perception and the Admiral's intentions... Isokaze's hourly lines reveal that Hamakaze gives her cooking lessons, and she personally prepares food for Valentine's Day, suggesting she is quite capable in the kitchen. In the 2014 Christmas limited voices, she was seen handing a present to the Admiral with a very nervous expression. Although she claimed she was merely representing the 17th Destroyer Division, her flustered state—so different from her usual composure—led many Admirals to suspect it was actually a personal gift. In the 3rd Anniversary lines, she starts to say "Together with the Admiral again this year" before immediately cutting herself off and acting like it didn't happen, showing many suggestive behaviors. Appearance: Her bangs are held back on the left side with a gold clip, creating an asymmetrical look. If removed, it is assumed her hair would symmetrically cover both eyes. Her uniform consists of a short-sleeved sailor suit with a yellow scarf, similar to Yukikaze's design, paired with a gray pleated skirt and white gloves. This became the standard look for shipgirls from the 17th Destroyer Division. On her legs, she wears black tights and blocky main engines that look like armored plates.
