Library Intro Play	霧島です。姉妹艦の榛名には、頭脳は負けないわよ？ 純国産高速戦艦として、奮戦するんだからっ！ 現代の海自イージス艦にもその名は受け継がれたの	Kirishima here. I won't lose to my sister ship Haruna's brains! As a domestically-produced fast battleship, I'll work hard! One of the Aegis ships of the modern JMSDF succeeds my name.	Aegis is an American-designed anti-missile defense system carried by many naval military vessels today, including those of the JMSDF (Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces).

Oh, it can't be helped. Kirishima will search with you.
Wedding Play	私の計算によると、戦いが終わったら、たぶん司令と私は、もしかすると、もしかすると…いえ、なんでもないの。	According to my calculations, after the battle is over, the commander and I probably, possibly, maybe... No.. it's nothing!	"Getting married after battle/war" is a well-known death flag, so she probably decided to avoid it.

Trivia

• Named after Mount Kirishima in Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu, an active volcano.
• Sank following the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal on 15 November 1942 by the USS Washington.
• Her wreck was discovered and photographed in 1992 by Dr. Robert Ballard, the same man who discovered the RMS Titanic, Bismarck, Ayanami and Yuudachi. However, there is discussion whether the wreck IS actually either Kirishima or Hiei...
• Though a "glasses character", many fanart choose to depict her as a bespectacled brawler, tagged under "マイクチェックの時間だオラァ! " ("It's mic-check time, dammit!") in pixiv. This is a nod towards her performance in the aforementioned Battle of Guadalcanal, where she gave the newly built USS South Dakota "a hard whack", taking out the much younger battleship's fire control systems and communications. Not too shabby, especially if one considers her age by then (she was launched in 1913 as a battlecruiser and was rebuilt in 1927 and 1934 as a battleship). Her exceptional firepower (for a non-Yamato ship) after her second remodel may also be a nod to this brutal side of her. Other fanart also choose the depict her also as a Yakuza leader, tagged under "霧島組" on pixiv, mainly also because of her brutal side and her character akin to the lines of an "Intellectual Gangster".
• She appeared in the first Kancolle Drama CD, also dubbed One Nao show, along with other characters in a mini skit. Link to show: https://soundcloud.com/masapusan/one-nao-show (TL is included in comments)
• Though in KanColle she is listed as the fourth ship of the Kongou class, it might be more accurate to say that Kirishima and Haruna are twins.  Kirishima was laid down only a day after Haruna was, and they were commissioned on the same day, April 19, 1915.
• Received her Kai Ni on 28/03/2014, together with Z1 and Z3
