Character
Voiced by: Iori Nomizu
Illustrated by: Konishi (コニシ)
Appearance
Zuikaku wears a shortened miko uniform with arm bracers and thigh boots with propellers protruding from them. Like most archer carriers, she wields a bow and wears muneate but hers has a kana inscribed on it ("ス").
Zuikaku has long grey (or green or black) hair in twintails. Her flight deck is attached to her left arm.
Upgrade
Unlike Shoukaku, her clothes changes color after remodeling. Her skirt becomes brown; her top is now a bluish grey; her muneate, flight deck, arm bracers and quiver on her back gain a geometric camouflage pattern.
Personality
Brash, proud and overly confident at times.
Behind the Design
Konishi has noted in the artist interview in the Mel Febri Magazine released back in December 2013 that while he was working on the designs of Shoukaku and Zuikaku, both girls were design with an identical design as if they were almost twins based upon thier appearance. However, he was not satisfied with how they appeared and chose to redesign both of the ship girls before they were released for the Spring 2013 Event. In the end Konishi was able to finish and finalize the design of the Shoukaku and Zuikaku that players know today on May 16th, 2013, one day before the Spring 2013 Event was released.
Trivia
- High luck value is due to the fact that she did not take much damage until her final battle at Leyte Gulf, while her sister Shoukaku always took heavy damage. Her High luck is also due in part to her name, that makes use of the kanji for "luck" as well as "crane".
- The camouflage pattern of her upgraded model clothes refers to the actual flight deck camouflage pattern used during the Leyte Gulf battle. The same pattern was also used on Zuihou, Chitose and Chiyoda.
- She was sunk by air attack in the Battle of Leyte Gulf on the 25th of October in 1944.
- She is required for quests A23 and B15.
- On October 30th, 2015, following the release of her second remodel, there was a discrepancy with Zuikaku's image that the artist, Konishi, took notice of once he saw her new art in-game. Konishi would later tweet that her aspect ratios got squashed down a little bit. There was a noticeable difference in the image used in-game versus his original concept. Later that same day the developers took notice and announced they would be patching in the correct image the following day. The image has since been replaced with the correct version. It was revealed that Konishi had simply sent the wrong file to the devlopers as there were many revisions to Zuikaku's new design. The tweets in which Konishi noted the mistake and those containing the comparison images were later removed. [1]
