Character

Voiced by: Mana Komatsu (小松真奈)

Illustrated by: Konishi (コニシ)

Appearance

Zuihou wears a white kimono top with sleeves visibly attached over a red one. On the sleeves' brim is lattice trimming. She wears red pleated shorts for a bottom. Like most of the many archer carriers, she wears a muneate over all of this.

She has long light brown hair with a high ponytail. She wears a red-striped white hachimaki that also secures her hair. She wields a bow patterned like her hachimaki and her arrows have planes attached to them.

Has a flat chest.

Upgrade

Similarly to Zuikaku, her clothes changes color after remodeling. Her clothes becomes green and her muneate gains a geometric camouflage pattern.

Trivia

• The second-youngest looking of the light carriers (after Ryuujou), but also one of the oldest (historically).
• The camo pattern of her upgraded model clothes refer to the actual flight deck camouflage pattern used during Leyte Gulf battle, the same pattern was used on Zuikaku, Chitose and Chiyoda.
• Sunk by air attack during the Battle of Cape Engaño, 25 October 1944
