The lead ship of the Takao-class heavy cruisers. To someone as dull as you, I shall simply say... 'You fool!'
• Takao One of the Ship Girls appearing in the browser game "Kantai Collection" distributed by DMM.com. She is the eldest of the four Takao-class heavy cruiser sisters and possesses top-tier combat power among heavy cruiser girls, alongside her younger sister Atago (detailed performance below). Since there are two missions requiring all four Takao-class sisters, many Admirals keep her on hand. Incidentally, she and Atago have been turned into action figures as part of Bandai's "Armor Girls Project" series. The price was 9,180 yen (tax included). It was a web-exclusive product and not released to the general public. For information on the heavy cruiser that served as the model, please refer to "Takao (Heavy Cruiser)." Regarding game performance, as of October 2015, her stats remain high and well-balanced despite not having a Kai Ni (Second Upgrade) implementation yet. Her sister ship Atago has the exact same ability values as Takao.
About Takao: A heavy cruiser girl appearing in the DMM.com browser game "Kantai Collection." At the time of implementation, she was among the strongest heavy cruisers, but recently, due to balance updates for heavy cruisers as a whole and the implementation of Kai Ni for the Myoko-class, she has stepped down from the top spot. Ship Name: Takao Library No: 59 Class: 1st Ship of the Takao-class Type: Heavy Cruiser CV: Nao Toyama Artist: Akemi Mikoto Personality: A quiet, serious, and cheerful woman. As Myoko describes her as "always energetic," she possesses a vigorous and lively spirit. She is something of a high-powered career woman. When a new ship girl arrives, she happily says, "A new comrade. Let's welcome them warmly," and when she enters the docks herself, she remarks, "Let's watch over those girls from here," showing she is caring, kind, and polite toward her juniors. On the other hand, because of her earnestness, she can be preachy and a bit high-strung, traits she often displays toward her uninhibited sister, Atago. Atago jokingly teases her about being "calcium deficient" (irritable), only to be poked by Takao who overheard. She is an ideal superior figure who is kind to everyone but can be strict when necessary. Appearance: A woman with black bobbed hair and red eyes. Like her sister ship Atago, she wears a blue cabin attendant-style uniform over a white shirt, with a white scarf decorated at the edges around her neck, and black gloves with white cuffs. She also wears a small blue pillbox hat like Atago. Her skirt appears to be a short, tight skirt with a slit, but since the slit goes all the way to the hip, its functionality as a skirt is questionable. She wears thigh-high socks with garters decorated with seaplane motifs, creating a dazzling "absolute territory." Her shoes are red pumps with blade-like parts resembling rudders extending upward from the outer sides.
