About
• Hosho A Kanmusu (Ship Girl) based on the aircraft carrier Hosho, the first ship in Japan and the world to be designed and completed as an aircraft carrier from the start. Along with the Mutsuki-class destroyers, Tenryu-class light cruisers, and Furutaka/Aoba-class heavy cruisers, she represents the low-fuel consumption (or older model) group of light aircraft carriers (Note). Because she is classified as an older vessel within the Imperial Japanese Navy, her maximum stat limits are modest compared to others in her category. Admirals affectionately call her "Okan" (Mom). As a carrier, she has the lowest rarity and is easy to obtain as a drop in early sea areas. However, since she becomes harder to find in mid-to-late game areas, missing her early on might make completing the encyclopedia difficult later. Note: The "light aircraft carrier" classification is strictly for game mechanics; historically, she was a proper fleet carrier. In the IJN, being a "warship" upon completion defined a fleet carrier (first-class carrier), regardless of the ship's actual size. In fact, the concept of a light aircraft carrier didn't even exist when Hosho was first launched.
Characters
About Hosho: A Kanmusu appearing in the browser game "Kantai Collection," modeled after Japan's first aircraft carrier, Hosho. Ship Name: Hosho Library No: 25 Class: Hosho-class, 1st Ship Type: Light Aircraft Carrier CV: Aya Suzaki Artist: Shibafu Age: 25 years old Gender: Female Personality: Extremely gentle and modest. She possesses the traditional Japanese feminine beauty of always staying one step behind to support a man. Many of her lines have a calm atmosphere, such as "Shall we have some tea?" or "It's a lovely breeze, isn't it?" However, in battle, she shows a brave side, encouraging the fleet with cries like "This isn't a drill, it's a real battle!" She truly embodies the Yamato Nadeshiko ideal. Her relationship with the Admiral is less like a fresh, bubbly young couple and more like a pair that has been married for many years. Because of this, in derivative works, she is often seen as having a different kind of "Admiral Love" compared to other ship girls. Even in her damaged graphics, her level of exposure hardly increases, which is a bit of a shame for a "mother" character, but it's quite a feat. It's not just her looks, but this very modesty that captivates many Admirals. In the 4-panel comics, she acts like the housemother of the carrier dorms, looking after the other carriers and managing the household accounts. Appearance: She has dull grey eyes and long hair of the same color tied in a ponytail, with slightly wavy bangs parted in a 7/3 style. Her gentle facial features leave a lasting impression. Her outfit consists of a light crimson kimono with sleeves tied back by tasuki cords, navy blue hakama, and long white socks. She wears a yugake (archery glove) on her right hand and carries a Japanese longbow as tall as she is in her left. She also wears main engine units on her feet that resemble geta sandals. As she is popular as one of the few "mother" characters in KanColle, many fan illustrations depict her wearing a kappogi apron over her kimono rather than carrying her bow, as it is said to suit her better.
