Introduction	航空母艦、加賀です。あなたが私の提督なの？それなりに期待はしているわ。	I'm aircraft carrier Kaga. Are you my admiral?... I　have fairly high expectation of you.
Library Intro	私、加賀は八八艦隊三番艦として建造されました。 様々な運命のいたずらもあって、最終的に大型航空母艦として完成しました。 赤城さんと共に、栄光の第一航空戦隊、その主力を担います。	I, Kaga, was built as the third ship of the eight-eight fleet. After being played by fate time after time, I was completed as a large aircraft carrier. Along with Akagi-san, we are main force of the glorious first air carrier division.	Kaga was originally intended to be built as a battle-cruiser, although the construction was halted by Washington treaty in 1921. Kaga was set to be scrapped for metal required to convert Akagi and Amagi from battle-cruisers into carriers. During construction Amagi was damaged beyond repair in the great Kanto Earthquake (1923) and Kaga took its place for conversion.

Secretary(2)	私の顔に、何かついていて？	Is there something on my face?
Secretary(3)	飛行甲板はデリケートだから、余り触らないで頂けますか 私の格納庫に何か御用？　そう…んっ…大概にしてほしいものね。（加賀改）	My flight deck is sensitive, please don't touch it too much. Is there something wrong with my aircraft hangar? I see... hn... I'd appreciate it if you don't overdo it. (Kai only)	Looks like Zuihou isn't the only one who enjoys some spontaneous groping...
Secretary(idle)	......あの、...いえ、 なんでもないわ。	...Umm, nevermind, it's nothing.
Secretary(Married)	まぁ、私も認めてはいます	Well... I'll approve of this too.
Wedding	私…感情表現が…その…。私…これでも今、とっても幸せなのですけれど…	I... displaying emotions.. well.... Even I... right now, I'm extremely happy though...

Joining a fleet	ここは譲れません	I will not give up here.

Equipment(2)	そうね、この強化は、いい判断ね	Yes, it was a good decision, to make this enhancement.	Historically, Kaga was modernized in 1935.

Start a sortie	一航戦、出撃します	1st Carrier Division, sortie.	along with Akagi.
Battle start	五航戦の子なんかと一緒にしないで	Don't put me together with 5th Carrier Division's kids.	By meaning "kids" she refers to the aircrafts rather than 5th Division's ships themselves; historically 1st Carrier Div's crew looked down upon 5th Div's (Shoukaku and Zuikaku) as they were newly grouped during early stage in WW2. It's an irony of history that Shoukaku/Zuikaku was regrouped into 1st Carrier Div. after Midway.

Character

Voiced by: Yuka Iguchi

Illustrated by: Shibafu (しばふ)

Appearance

Kaga has long brown hair, usually done in a side ponytail. She is typically seen wearing a muneate over white and blue clothes along with a bow and arrow. Usually depicted as constantly serious.

Personality

Kaga is portrayed as emotionless and serious, to contrast with Akagi's playful "spoiled brat" persona.

Also shown to be disapproving of the 5th Car Div (Zuikaku and Shoukaku).

Trivia

• Her side ponytail depicts her distinctive downward-facing funnel, used to exhaust air operation gases.
• Scuttled after being heavily damaged by a US air attack at the Battle of Midway, 4 June 1942
• Origninally designed as a Tosa-class Battleship she was converted into a carrier after the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty in 1921.
• In the 4koma, she is often portrayed as irrationally protective of Akagi from the destroyers that historically scuttled her (who were also their escorts).  Historically, all four CarDiv1 and CarDiv2 carriers (Akagi, Hiryuu, Soryuu and herself) were scuttled in the Battle of Midway by Japanese destroyers' torpedoes after being heavily damaged by air attacks. During WW2, scuttling (intentional allied sinking to prevent capture) was very common, and the IJN rarely took prisoners or allowed themselves to be POWs.
