Analysis

Kirishima Kai

Priority: High, unless many more fast battleships are available.

A Japanese fast battleship that's easy to come across for her class.

Her stats are decent but nothing to write home about.

Kirishima Kai Ni

Priority: Low

This second remodel improves her stats a bit and that's it.

There's no reason not to take it but no reason to rush it either, generally.

Her Firepower is a tad higher than her sisters'.

Recommended Roles

Surface combat

Important Info

Required for unlocking the 4th fleet slot.
Required for quests A16, A40, A52, and B44

↑ Reference to USS South Dakota, where she suffered a serious power failure that rendered most of her radar, radio and guns inoperable during the Second Naval Battle of Guadacanal.
↑ She's making a pun because the word she uses "分け目" can be translated to "crisis" or "hair parting".

Trivia

She is named after Mount Kirishima.
Sank following the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal on 15 November 1942 by the USS Washington, one of the Big 7.
Her wreck was discovered and photographed in 1992 by Dr. Robert Ballard, the same man who discovered the RMS Titanic, Bismarck, Ayanami and Yuudachi. However, there is discussion whether the wreck IS actually either Kirishima or Hiei...
Though a "glasses character", many fanart choose to depict her as a bespectacled brawler, tagged under "マイクチェックの時間だオラァ! " ("It's mic-check time, dammit!") in pixiv. This is a nod towards her performance in the aforementioned Battle of Guadalcanal, where she gave the newly built USS South Dakota "a hard whack", taking out the much younger battleship's fire control systems and communications.
- Her exceptional firepower (for a non-Yamato ship) after her second remodel also nods to this brutal side of her. Fanart often chooses to depict her as a Yakuza leader, tagged under "霧島組" on pixiv on account of her character-type of an "Intellectual Gangster".
She appeared in the first Kancolle Drama CD, also dubbed One Nao show, along with other characters in a mini skit.
She received her Kai Ni on 28/03/2014, together with Z1 and Z3.
