=== Appearance ===

Brick red eyes and long black hair held together with a red hair tie towards the end, though nevertheless a little messy all around. Dresses in a black suit jacket with a matching skirt over a white button-down shirt and red tie; wears black socks and brown penny loafers. She holds two small main cannons in both hands resembling dual [[12.7cm Naval Gun|12.7cm naval guns]], though the left one only has a single turret (which was the standard for Hatsuharu-class destroyers until post-1942 when they were replaced with additional anti-air guns), with [[61cm Triple Torpedo Mount|61cm triple torpedo mounts]] attached to either side of her torso. Her mainmast and funnel, mounted on her back, are apparent as well. Her design from the point of view of her armaments appears to reflect the real ship at the outset of the war rather than the later years.

Hatsushimo Kai Ni gains a blue hachimaki along with a new (piped) blazer. In this outfit she's forgone her tie, rolled up her sleeves and appears to have followed in the example of [[Yahagi]] and [[Yamato]] (two of her Operation Ten-Ichi-Gō comrades), wearing one thigh-high sock on the left leg and her usual on the right. Unlike her real-life counterpart, she's kept her single-turret 12.7cm gun and appears to have opted for the installation of a [[wikipedia:QF_2-pounder_naval_gun#QF_2-pounder_Mark_II|40mm 2-pounder single-turret]] as well, another gun which the real Hatsushimo had replaced with 25mm AA weaponry. Like her latewar self, however, a [[Type 13 Air RADAR|Type 13 RADAR]] has been affixed to her mainmast. This old equipment being retained is perhaps a reference to gameplay more than anything; the loss of her single turret would serve to reduce her firepower considerably. The Vickers 40mm gun's heavier rounds could be more effective than the Hotchkiss 25mm's against Abyssal planes, which have sloped armour and tend to fly lower than the ones she fended off in real life, but that much is debatable.

=== Personality ===

Much of her personality may be based on her final and most significant captain, Sakawa Masazou (酒匂雅三), a devoted humanitarian. Many of Hatsushimo's traits seem to match up with his own, particularly her outspoken desire to protect the player and her fellow Kanmusu. Her dialogue is spoken in a polite, feminine but enthusiastic tone. She is protective, careful and kind to a fault. At the same time, though, Hatsushimo is brave and strong-willed, a reference to the ship's decorated service history and her crew's accomplishments during the late war.
