*Though a "glasses character", many fanart choose to depict her as a bespectacled brawler, tagged under [http://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E3%83%9E%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AF%E3%83%81%E3%82%A7%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%81%AE%E6%99%82%E9%96%93%E3%81%A0%E3%82%AA%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A1%21 "マイクチェックの時間だオラァ!] " ("It's mic-check time, dammit!") in pixiv. This is a nod towards her performance in the aforementioned Battle of Guadalcanal, where she gave the newly built USS ''South Dakota'' "a hard whack", taking out the much younger battleship's fire control systems and communications.

**Her exceptional firepower (for a non-''Yamato'' ship) after her second remodel also nods to this brutal side of her. Fanart often chooses to depict her as a Yakuza leader, tagged under "[http://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E9%9C%A7%E5%B3%B6%E7%B5%84 霧島組]" on pixiv on account of her character-type of an "Intellectual Gangster".
