About Shimakaze: Shimakaze is a ship girl based on the Imperial Japanese Navy destroyer "Shimakaze" from the browser game Kantai Collection. She is the first ship of the Shimakaze-class, a state-of-the-art vessel featuring high speed and heavy torpedo armament. A high-spec destroyer, she boasts a top speed exceeding 40 knots and a torpedo capacity rivaling heavy cruisers, equipped with three Type 0 5-tube torpedo launchers for a total of 15 tubes. Ship Name: Shimakaze Library No: 10 Class: 1st Ship of the Shimakaze-class Type: Destroyer CV: Ayane Sakura Artist: Yoshinori Shizuma Age: 18 Gender: Female Personality: Her personality is spirited and innocent. She gives off the vibe of a stubborn, selfish child often seen in only children, perhaps reflecting the historical fact that she had no sister ships of the same class. In the anime, she was seen playing with her Rensouhou-chan like toys. She often doesn't listen to mission briefings, and while she looks like a middle schooler, she remains very childlike. Some see this as being a spoiled only child, while others find it to be her charm point. She also shows a gentle side, such as when she tries to feed curry to her Rensouhou-chan. She is proud of her fast feet and enjoys racing with the Admiral. Additionally, because her specialized turbine requires unique parts, she seems to worry about the difficulty of maintenance. Notably, when touched, she sometimes lets out an indescribable sound like "Ough!", leading fans to nickname her the "Seal" (Zekamazarashi). Relationships: As the only ship of her class, she lacks sister-ship connections, which can make her difficult for fan-content creators to pair up; consequently, she is often seen doting on her three little friends, the Rensouhou-chan. However, in the hourly lines for Naganami, who has strong historical ties to her, it is confirmed they are on good terms. She also appears to interact with Musashi in Musashi's time-announcements, likely due to the historical fact that Shimakaze took on survivors from Maya who were aboard Musashi. It is worth noting that all ships mentioning Shimakaze were implemented later in the game's life.
