As part of the core of the Mobile Strike Force, I support the victorious advances. Together with my pride experienced planes, we were called the invincible fleet. Overconfident, you say...? Hmm, perhaps so...I'll keep that in mind.
Secretary(1)	流星？　九七艦攻とは違うのですか？	Ryuusei? Do you mean the Type 97 Torpedo Bomber?	Both taste like Bauxite.
Secretary(2)	烈風？　いえ、知らない子ですね	Reppuu? Never heard of it.	Both planes were introduced after Akagi was sunk, not because she ate them.
Secretary(3)	作戦会議でしょうか？	Shall we hold a strategic meeting?	Akagi was her division's flagship under Rear Admiral Sankichi Takahashi.

Secretary(Married)	一航戦赤城、いつでも出撃可能です！提督は、少しお休みになっていて下さい。	1st CarDiv Akagi, always able to deploy! Admiral, please take a break sometime.
Wedding	提督、提督となら運命の5分間を塗り変える事が出来そうです。頑張ります。	Admiral, if I'm with you, I might be able to change that fateful 5 minutes. I will do my best.	Akagi was, essentially, sunk during the "five fateful minutes" of the Battle of Midway.

Akagi was struck by only a handful of bombs (possibly only one), but since she was in the middle of re-arming and refueling (bombs and fuel in the hangar rather than safe in magazines), the explosion lit the fuel and detonated some of the bombs.

Night attack
MVP	この勝利で慢心していては駄目。索敵や先制を大事にしないと･･･って、頭のなかで何かが？	We must not become complacent following this victory. Reconnaissance and being proactive is the key... wait... what is this I'm feeling?	The overwhelming superiority of the 1st Carrier Division in the early stages of the war had led to the underestimation of U.S. naval power, which, together with poor scouting and other factors, caused the IJN's catastrophic defeat at Midway and the sinking of Akagi-chan.
Minor damaged(1)	真上…直上！？	Straight above!? Directly above!?	Akagi hates surprises from above... (A reference to when Akagi, Kaga and Soryuu were hit by dive-bombers that slipped nearly undetected until the very moment they started their attack.)
Minor damaged(2)	きゃぁっ！誘爆を防いで！！	Aah! ...Stop sympathetic detonation!	Akagi was heavily damaged by secondary explosions from armaments left on deck during equipment switch when she was attacked by american dive bombers.
≥Moderately damaged	一航戦の誇り…こんなところで失うわけには…	I cannot let the pride of the first Carrier Division be lost here...	1st Carrier Division was IJN's top carrier fleet throughout WW2.
Sunk	ごめんなさい…雷撃処分…してください…。	My apologies... Please... scuttle me with the torpedoes.	Akagi was scuttled under the orders of Yamamoto, carried out by the 4th Destroyer fleet, where Maikaze was one of them.

Character

Voiced by: Saki Fujita

Illustrated by: Shibafu (しばふ)

Appearance

Akagi has long brown hair, which she leaves straight. She is typically seen wearing a chest protector (muneate) over white and red clothes along with a bow and arrow. Usually depicted as a foil to Kaga. Sometimes, she is depicted eating something (usually rice or bauxite) or is shown with a repair bucket.

Personality

She is gluttonous when it comes to bauxite (and sometimes, not just that), but fairly serious when there is work to do. Much more open and cheerful compared to Kaga, who is generally stoic in nature. When Kaga is upset (usually something to do with the Fifth Carrier Division) she also acts as a supportive figure, consoling her on the way or acting as a mediator between her and Shoukaku/Zuikaku. While Kaga is often depicted to be hostile and/or condescending towards the Fifth Carrier Division, Akagi does not appear to share her aversion and would either be shown to be neutral or even friendly with the Fifth CarDiv sisters.  

Original ship

• Originally designed as an Amagi-class Battlecruiser, Akagi was converted to a carrier after the instigation of the Washington Naval Treaty in 1921.
• She was the first Fleet Carrier commissioned by Japan. (Kaga was launched before Akagi, but was commissioned after her).
• Damaged by an US air attack at the Battle of Midway and scuttled by Japanese Destroyers by the orders of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto on 5 June 1942.

Appearances in derivative works

• Akagi was one of the first characters confirmed to appear in the anime adaptation of Kantai Collection, and was also featured in the adaptation's first trailer. Her role in the anime is yet to be disclosed.
• Sings "Akatsuki No Suiheisen Ni" with Shoukaku in music album KanColle Vocal Collection (Vol.1).

Trivia

File:赤城.jpg

Hungry Akagi-chan eating Reppu

• Officially named the "Queen of Bauxite" thanks to her reputation for eating up all the Bauxite reserves in your inventory. Despite her rarity she's fairly accessible via quest in the early levels, as a result, many new coming admirals are shocked at her Bauxite-binging and long repair times.
• Her name literally means "Red Castle", and comes from Mount Akagi in Gunma Prefecture, Japan.
