Character

Voiced by: Sumire Uesaka

Illustrated by: Shibafu (しばふ)

Appearance

Souryuu and Hiryuu, being originally designed as sister ships, share many similarities. Namely, they wear color-differentiated versions of the same clothes.

Hiryuu wears a yellow kimono top, with the bottom of the sleeves fading to gray with red stripes. Her bottom is a green pleated skirt. She also wears a flight deck apron like Akagi and Kaga (The kana "ヒ" is inscribed on it). Her full flight deck is attached to her left arm. Unlike most other archer carriers, she doesn't wear muneate.

She has short brown hair.

Trivia

• She has exceptionally high luck probably because she was the only survivor in Midway while Akagi, Kaga and Souryuu were all sank by US air raids. Her planes raided and indirectly sank the U.S. Carrier Yorktown (Hiryuu herself was later sank, too. Yorktown was damaged by Hiryuu's attack and later sank together with DD Hammann by I-168's torpedoes).
• The hole on her Kai Ni CG's flight deck when she gets damaged is a reference to the damage her real-life counterpart sustained when she was targeted by planes from the USS Enterprise, USS Hornet and survivors of USS Yorktown taken in by the former two. She was struck by bombs which caused the forward portion of her flight deck to cave in. Although her propulsion was unaffected and she wasn't holed, the fires from the attack were uncontrollable. She was scuttled by torpedoes from Makigumo and it took some time before she sunk as reported by one of Houshou's aircraft.
• Her planes were responsible for sinking the USS Arizona during the Attack on Pearl Harbor.
• Scuttled after the Battle of Midway, 5 June 1942
• The main character of Capcom's Strider, Strider Hiryuu, is named after this ship. Interestingly, both characters' names share the same kanji.
• Received her Kai Ni on 06/06/2014.
