After transferring, I could not accompany the Yamato during the final attack. I was handed over to the Soviet Union as compensation, and was named after the Russian phrase for "trustworthiness".

Character

Seiyuu: Aya Suzaki

Artist: Yadokari (やどかり)

Appearance

• Wears a similar serafuku to the rest of her class with an anchor emblem on the chest.
• She and Akatsuki wear navy hats that also bear an anchor emblem.
• Derived from her subdued, vacant personality (almost neglectful), her hair is quite messy, akin to bed-head.

Second Remodel

• Interestingly, her attire and armaments don't change significantly between her first and second remodels, despite historical stripping and rearmament of the latter with Soviet-made weapons.
• The most distinctive change in her second remodel is her change of hat; the gold-coloured star and hammer-and-sickle (hard to discern) are direct references to the Soviet Flag.
• 2 pairs of depth charges replace her dual 61cm triple torpedoes, indicating her outstanding ASW capability for a destroyer.

Personality

• Characterized by her vacant attitude and expression, which are especially prominent in derivative works.
• A calm and stoic Russophile who tends to include Russian words in her speech. As Верный, she speaks more Russian.

Trivia

• Hibiki means "echo", Верный means "faithful".
• Can speak in Russian. Ура!!! (night battle) (pronounced oo-ra [Ura]; essentially means 'Hoorah!')
• Occasionally says "до свидания" (do svidaniya) [Good Bye] at the menu screen.
• Received her Kai Ni(Верный) on 11/09/2013.
• Kudō Shunsaku was transferred to Hibiki after his rescue of enemy personnel while captain of Ikazuchi.
• She was retired from service on February 20 1953 and subsequently scrapped.
• Her name lives on as a part of Ocean surveillance ship known as Hibiki-class.

Quests

Hibiki is required for A10 and B12.
