==Character==
'''Voiced by''': [http://myanimelist.net/people/19834/Aya_Suzaki Aya Suzaki]
'''Illustrated by''': Shibafu ([http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=312614 しばふ])
===Appearance===
Like some other carriers, her attire is based on kyūdo (Japanese archery) equipment. She wears a scarlet ''kimono'', a dark ''hakama'', and a matching ''tasuki'' (a rope to tuck up the kimono sleeves to prevent them from getting in the way). She holds a bow with her left hand, and she wears a ''yugake'' (deerskin glove) on the right hand. Her flight deck is attached to her left arm. She has a set of arrows on her back, with the Japanese aircraft insignia (red circle) on the arrow fletchings.
===Personality===
Hōshō (Houshou) was the world's first commissioned ship that was designed and built as an aircraft carrier. (Other carriers of her days were conversions from other types of ships.) For this reason, she can be considered to be the "mother" of all the other carriers, and hence has a very motherly, caring personality and is more reserved than the other ships.
Her quotes also suggest that she is a stereotypical "good wife" of the old days. You can bet she's a good cook too, and in fact [[Chitose]] Carrier Kai 2's hourly line on 7 pm indicates that she runs a restaurant or possibly an ''izakaya'' (something like a pub or a bar).
==Trivia==
*Her name literally translates as "phoenix in flight" (鳳=phoenix, 翔=soar/fly)
*Weak and outdated (but this helped her to survive WWII)
*Due to her comments regarding opening a little store with the admiral, JP players often refer to her as <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,宋体;line-height:24px;">おかみさん (Okami-san, lit. "boss lady" or the female owner of a typical Japanese store).</span>
*Low consumption, which is good for expeditions
*Her arrows have orange-yellow fletching as apposed to the white and green arrow fletching of other carriers, this is a reference to her role as a training carrier as the IJN painted its training aircraft a bright yellow or orange
*Scrapped beginning 2 September 1946, after the mission of repatriation.
* She served as a repatriation transport to retrieve Japanese serviceman and civilians station overseas and return them to Japan.During her repatriation mission she was modified to cut her hangars to carry more passengers to continue her repatriation trips before August 15 1946 and carries transported more of about 40,000 passengers before she was scrapped.
* The original Houshou appeared in the animated movie "The Wind Rises", the aircraft carrier visited by Horikoshi Jiro and his supervisor Kurokawa. Nagato, with the serpentine funnel unique to her class, was shown as well, albeit briefly.
* Participated in the Battle of Midway with her task being to provide modest air protection, scouting, and anti-submarine support to the Main Body (consisting of [[Yamato]], [[Nagato]], [[Mutsu]]).
