I am Shimakaze, the Shimakaze-class ship that was developed as the pinnacle of destroyers, fast and armed with heavy torpedos. After all, I can go faster than 40 knots. However, we were not suited for mass production so I was the only one built. | ||

Character
Seiyuu: Sakura Ayane
Artist: Shizuma Yoshinori (しずまよしのり)
Appearance
- Shimakaze has long blonde hair. She is typically seen wearing an outfit with a sailor collar & striped thighhighs. She is often accompanied by Rensouhou-chan, familiar-like turrets which originated from Shimakaze's three twin 12.7 cm/50 naval gun turrets.
- Her headband gives her the appearance of a rabbit, playing off her prodigious speed and energy.
Notes
Behind the Design=
Behind the Design
Back in June 2016's Comtiq Magazine, an interview was conducted with Kantai Collection's producer Kensuke Tanaka, and artist Shizuma Yoshinori where they discussed about the work they did together back while producing the game.It was revealed through thier interview that Yoshinori orginally created Shimakaze's design for the Fubuki-class. But as revealed the design looked too fast to fit the Fubuki-class so Takana suggested that Yoshinori use this design and re-do it for Shimakaze.
As an end result the design that orginally started off as the Fubuki-classes design would then become changed into the Shimakaze we now know today.
In-Game Tips
Shimakaze may possess great underlining potential due to her good stats overall. Her most noted stats are her evasion, armor and torpedo stats. Her evasion and armor may allow her more survivability compared to other destroyers. Shimakaze's torpedo stat is difficult to utilize efficiently, but if one can acquire a bunch of Maruyus to improve her luck via modernization to near the same level as Yukikaze's luck it can be possible to make Shimakaze be able to deliver just as much if not more damage than Yukikaze can with Torpedo Cut-ins. Keep in mind though that this task is bound to take time to complete since her luck is entirely average.
Trivia
- Her name means "island wind."
- Highest fuel and ammo consumption among Destroyers, consuming 20 fuel and 25 ammo at full refuel.
- She was a unique ship with no sister ships. In media, she is often shown as depressed by this.
- However, Amatsukaze used prototype steam boilers and turbines which were later used in Shimakaze's construction.
- Sunk in the Battle of Ormoc Bay near Cebu, Philippines, 11 November 1944.
- She was not actually the world's fastest destroyer at the time; that honor goes to the French destroyer Terrible. Terrible had a top speed of 45 knots as opposed to Shimakaze's 40.9 knots. However if one considers offshore speed, Shimakaze would be the fastest destroyer at that time.
- Fans have given her the nickname "Zekamashi", her name "spelled" backwards as it would be on an old Japanese life preserver. This is because traditionally, Japanese was written in vertical columns from right to left. If you tried to write on something thin like a life preserver, there would only be space for one character per line, so you would end up writing backwards by modern, left-to-right standards.
- The Shimakaze in game is the second ship in the Japanese Navy to bear the name. Her predecessor being a Minekaze-class Destroyer who was slightly slower at 40.65 knots during sea trials.
Historical Note
Shimakaze was planned and built as the experimental prototype of a new class of heavy destroyers, designated "Type C." Sixteen other units were ordered but later cancelled due to more pressing wartime needs. Though never repeated, she was a successful design, combining large size (some 25 feet longer than yuugumo-class), firepower (six 5" guns in new Type D turrets), and heavy torpedo armament (three quintuple sets of 24" tubes, the most powerful such broadside ever mounted on a Japanese destroyer) with a 40-knot top speed. The latter was thanks to new high-pressure, high-temperature boilers able to generate nearly 80,000 shaft horsepower and would have propelled all future Japanese destroyer designs, had circumstances permitted their construction.
