Introduction Play	I’m the 12th ship of Ukuru-class coastal defense ships. Inagi is here! I will protect that city and those people even if it means my death!
	海防艦、稲木！鵜来型海防艦、十二番艦、ここに！ 町も、人も……私が守ります。この身に代えてもッ！
Library Play	I’m the 12th of Ukuru-class coastal defense ship, Inagi. When I was born, a balance of forces was already heavily tilted to enemy's advantage, but I served on naval escort missions on the surviving shipping lanes. I escorted a convoy in the Hokkaido area and then done it in the Tohoku area too. Later, while temporarily anchored at Hachinohe, I was engaged by planes from the enemy task force. There were no more friendly fighter in the sky, and later, ones called me the "Hachinohe’s Shield", I heard.
	鵜来型海防艦、十二番艦、稲木だ。生まれた時にはもう戦力は大きく傾いていたが、生き残った航路の海上護衛任務に務めた。北海道そして東北方面の船団護衛の後に八戸に仮停泊中、敵機動部隊の艦載機と交戦した。もう味方の戦闘機は空に無く、後に「八戸の盾」という人達もいると聞く。
Secretary 1 Play	I, Inagi will protect it!
	守るよ!この稲木が!
Secretary 2 Play	Do you need something from me?
	稲木に御用ですか?
Secretary 2 Play	Admiral, Are there any missions?
	提督、稲木に新しい任務が?
Secretary 3 Play	On that Summer, enemy aerial bombardments had annihilated Aomori-Hakodate ferryboats in Ōminato, Misawa, and Tsugaru-channel. They had raided on Hachinohe too. I did a sortie and intercepted the enemies... I fought as hard as I could…
	あの夏…大湊や三沢、そして津軽海峡の青函連絡船が全滅する攻撃がありました。八戸にも襲ってきました。私は出撃、敵を迎撃します…。力の限り、戦いました…。
Idle Play	Well… those enemy fighters were already fighter-bombers. Both machine-gun fire and concentrated rocket fire – it was so terrifying. But I'll fight. If there's a meaning to it, it has no choice. If you’d been there, you would have done the same, right?
	そうだな…あの時の敵戦闘機は、もはや戦闘爆撃機だ。機銃掃射もロケット弾の集中攻撃も、それは恐ろしいものだ…。だが、戦う。そこに意味があるのなら、是非もない。提督も、そこにいたなら、きっと、そうしただろう？
Secretary Married Play	When my fight saved a few people, it meant something. Good. Eh? Do you take me to JMSDF’s Fleet Air Wing 2 ? I see… Admiral, let’s go there together on our next leave! I’m a little embarrassed, but… thank you!
	私の戦いで少しでも人々が助かったのなら、それは意味があったということだ。よかった。えっ？海上自衛隊第二航空群に？そうか…提督！今度の休暇に一緒に行ってみよう！少し照れくさいが…ありがたい！
Wedding Play	I’ll come in! Admiral, Is there a mission? Eh? Is This… for me? Thank you. I am a little embarrassed, but... Yes. I'll take it. Admiral, I'll be counting on you forever!
	稲木！入ります！提督、何か任務が？えっ、これを？私に…？ありがとう、少し照れくさいが…そうだな、受け取ろう。提督！今度は末永く…よろしく頼む！

Trivia

General Information

• Named after 稲木島(いなぎしま) (written as 稲毛島 nowadays) Inagishima or Inagi Island at Kagawa Prefecture.
• She was launched on the 25th of September 1944.
• Sunk by planes from USS Essex and USS Randolph on the 9th of August 1945.
  • Was nicknamed the "Hachinohe’s Shield" for her actions on this day.

Update History

• She was added on the 9th of August 2023 as Summer 2023 Event E3 reward.
• She got her Kai Ni on the 29th of May 2024.

Misc

• There is a memorial dedicated to her and a ceremony with surviving members as well as JMSDF representatives is held every year.
• There is some discrepancy as the English Wikipedia entry states it was HMS Formidable that sank her but Royal Navy Archives state that Formidable sent planes to Shiogama. Meanwhile it was HMS Indefatigable that sent planes to Kesennuma, Kakuda, and Hachinohe. Japanese records and US Records coincide that TF 38 elements: USS Essex and USS Randolph and their planes were the ones who dealt the final blow on Inagi.
• The Kancolle Summer 2023 E-3 Map 八戸の盾 "The Shield of Hachinohe" is dedicated to her and is her actual nickname. This is based on her actions on the 9th of August 1945 wherein she drew the fire from multiple aircraft for several hours until she was sank giving time for people inland to seek shelter.
• The bird charm attached to her gun mount in her CG is an actual charm available in the town of Hachinohe.
