Trivia

General Information

She is named after the Kiso River.
She was launched on the 14th of December 1920.
Sunk by USN aircraft off Cavite, Philippines 14°35′N 120°50′E.
Wreck was raised on the 15th of December 1955, towed into Manila Harbor, and scrapped.

Update History

She was part of the original game's launch when the game was released on the 23rd of April 2013.
She got her Kai Ni on the 11th of December 2013.

Misc

Bears an uncanny resemblance to Minamitsu Murasa from Touhou Project.
The camouflage she wears in her Kai Ni art is based on her historical painting where she, along with Tama, was assigned in the "Northern Waters" mostly patrolling the Kurile Islands.
