About

- The world of Kantai Collection - Kongou A returnee born in England, she speaks with English words mixed into her conversation and ends her sentences with a katakana-style "desu" (de-su!). She has a bright and friendly personality, openly showing her love for the Admiral with lines like, "The one to capture the Admiral's heart is me!" In terms of stats, she differs from other battleships by having "Fast" speed and fewer initial equipment slots. A major feature is her ability to be remodeled into "Kai Ni" at high levels. She was named after Mount Kongou on the border of Nara and Osaka Prefectures. - True to her British roots, she loves tea. In-game, she says things like "Tea time is important!" and "I want to drink tea!" There is even an item in the furniture shop called "Kongou's Tea Set," which she supposedly ordered from England. - In the side story "Side: Kongou," she reportedly used up all the tea leaves on a passenger ship she was on. She once threw a tantrum demanding tea and flew into a rage when served Oolong tea instead. - Despite being born in England, which is famous for bad food... once she reaches her Kai Ni form, she cooks for you, making soup curry simmered until the ingredients melt and scones. - Kongou is actually a good cook. However, the Japanese ship girls didn't care for the combination of curry and bread, so they "remastered" it into curry rice, which reportedly caused her to lose confidence in her cooking. - Kongou-oneesama in the first season of the anime: She appears with her sisters from the first episode, but becomes majorly involved from episode 4. She dashed into the Admiral's office at full speed to deploy with Fubuki and Shimakaze, but mistook Ooyodo for the Admiral and lunged at her head in a flamboyant hug. In a scene at the shipyard in episode 9, she was sleeping with an ecstatic expression, dreaming that the Admiral was teasing her ears, prompting Fubuki to deadpan, "We're at the shipyard, you know."
