==Origin and Development==
The Sasebo event was done not over night as the entire process of the event took approximately 2 and half years of hard work that came from the hard work of a dedicated group of KanColle fans in the Sasebo area as they were attempting to find a way convince the citizens of thier town to help revitalize the tourism in Sasebo.
After lots of hard work they were able to establish contact with [[C2 Kikan]] and began setting up plans. After lots of time and convincing they were able to successfully establish this tour event.
Below here are the word of the main project leader "Fin" who tells in his words about his account of everything he did to help make this project become a reality.

''I am just going to write something here. I am one of the Kancolle event organizer, it took 2 and a half years to achieve what we see today. The effort to explain to the elders what is Kancolle is hard to imagine for those who've never done it.''
''"Kancolle? What is that an anime?" such expression, I've heard it from people countless times. "No, It is a game that is played on the web browser on computer" I explained. For people lacking the concept of computer games, naturally they won't understand how popular this game is among the youngsters.''
''Explanation, presentation, tenaciously continuing to do this, doing this project which other people think is a waste of time. I felt like an outcast, but the reason I didn't give up was because of partial confidence that "this project can work!" After that a few people agreed with my idea.''
''Those pepole are people that really like Kancolle. Although I only have 1 married ship, among them a lot have multiple married ships. They suggested that they wanted to make something that they wanted to see, so they took this suggestion to C2 facility and hence the circle involved in the Sasebo event.''
''I can only thank C2 facility who responded to this passion of us. Although SomeP (a person) was criticized on multiple sides, but when he knew about our real feelings, he gave us help without mentioning the cost/at any cost. And the result is the "Chinjyufu" book for those Admirals who came to Sasebo.''
''Communicating with C2 was an unintentional suggestion by people inside the project. Previous event to lure customers/tourists (to Sasebo) all failed, but we did not give out this time, and the project was moving forward step by step.''
''Even so, we still have no money. We tried to open a tuition to earn some money, but really we can't even get enough funding. Hence, all the bento are hand-made. I lowered my head to ask for money from multiple sources, finally get 5 figure funding, securing the wages of volunteers and the venue.''
''Dear admirals, if you went on the Sasebo event homepage, you can see that it is one of our people who burn the midnight oil to make it fully represent the concept of "hand made feel" of Kantai Collection.''
''Those Kujuku Islands rice cracker are packed by us ourselves day and night after they are manufactured The amount is not that big due to financial constraint.
But, up to this step, those who didn't care about the project started to tell me "Wild(the author) since you are already working this hard, let us help too"''
''Even then, "There will never be so many people who will come to Sasebo" "It would still be fine if you can only do it in Sasebo" "What if someone is hurt? Who will be responsible?" types of phrases were still thrown at me. I feel like Isoroku Yamamoto at the time when he made the suggestion to attack Pearl Harbor.''
''But what made all these doubts went was all the ttks. To be honest with you, when I see people lining up orderly in the square, listening to the instruction of the staffs, I cried for real. What I've done, what I'll be doing, they are not wrong. I express my sincerest gratitude to you admirals.''
''After this I don't know what will happen to (future) sasebo event, everything depends on the IP holders. It is also not possible to do volunteer for Sasebo forever, a lot of changes will happen. But, under that blue sky after the storm, having a fun time in Sasebo and leaving a wonderful memory, is the biggest wish of Kancolle fans.''
'''''--Fin'''.''
''Special thanks to the anons for thier help''
