The 3rd Kagero-class destroyer girl. She always seems to be watching over you.
About
- Kuroshio One of the destroyer girls who has appeared since the launch of "Kantai Collection." Because the actual ship was built at the Fujinagata Shipyard (now merged into Mitsui E&S), a private shipyard in Osaka, she speaks with a fluent regional drawl. However, the dialect situation in the KanColle world is quite mysterious, with some characters being native Kanto people who somehow speak with a regional accent, while her sister ships from the same hometown might speak with an Edo accent. Regarding Kuroshio, some fans point out that "if anything, she sounds closer to Kyoto than Osaka." *Note: Compared to others, her dialect feels much more natural, giving her a significant advantage as a regional dialect character.
Characters
About Kuroshio: A destroyer girl from the browser game "Kantai Collection," modeled after the 3rd Kagero-class destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy, "Kuroshio." Ship Name: Kuroshio Library No: 93 Class: 3rd Kagero-class Type: Destroyer CV: Saki Fujita Artist: Konishi Personality: While she has the distinct trait of a regional dialect, her personality is friendly and approachable—or to put it bluntly, quite safe. Due to her somewhat isolated position, she was once a ship girl with a slightly thinner presence compared to Kagero or Shiranui. Appearance: Her look is perhaps the most traditionally Japanese among the Kagero-class sisters. She has silvery-black bobbed hair with a gold clip on her left temple. Her uniform is the same blazer-vest style as her contemporaries Kagero and Shiranui, distinguished by her blue ribbon. Performance: Since the motif is a relatively modern ship, her base specs are high. However, before her second remodel (Kai Ni) was implemented, her stats tended to settle at levels similar to other general destroyers. Furthermore, because the same class includes Yukikaze—who has high rarity and top-tier destroyer strength even without a remodel due to her combat history—Kuroshio was sometimes treated as a "consolation prize" by comparison. That said, she is by no means weak; if her level is high enough, she can use her inherent evasion to survive shelling phases and perform well in night battles. In fact, since some Kagero-class sisters are impossible to encounter in normal play, being available as a reliable combat force is a plus. As of late February 2018, the buildable Kagero-class sisters were limited to Kuroshio, the original trio (Kagero, Shiranui, Yukikaze), and Akigumo. Trivia: The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has used the name "Kuroshio" (in hiragana) for three submarines. The 4th generation, the 7th Oyashio-class submarine "Kuroshio," is currently in operation. Because of this, fan art often references the connection. Additionally, since JR West uses the name "Kuroshio" for a limited express train, there is also artwork related to that.
