==Character==
'''Voice actor:''' [http://myanimelist.net/people/11184/Nao_Touyama Nao Touyama]
'''Illustrator:''' Konishi ([http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=4258322 コニシ])
===Appearance===
*Has long brown hair bunched into two braided buns and wears a black skirt. Uses a ship-like rig.
*All ships of her class wear a modified miko uniform with differently colored skirts and thighhighs. They also wear the same signature winged hairband.
===Personality===
*Tea Addict
*Hyperactive and very cheerful
*Loves to mix her Japanese speech with random English words
*Signature catchphrase: "Burning Love!"
==Original ship==
*All parts used in her construction were manufactured in the U.K.
*She was the only Japanese battleship sunk by submarine in the Second World War, and the last battleship sunk by submarine in history.
*Sunk by ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Sealion_(SS-315) USS Sealion]'' in the Formosa Strait, 21 November 1944.
==Appearances in derivative works== <!-- Feel free to come up with a more suiting title, can't think anything else for this =/ -->
*Kongou appears as a main character in ''[[Print_media#side:Kongou|side:Kongou]]''.
*Kongou - along with other ships voiced by Nao Touyama - was featured in the first KanColle Drama CD, titled "Hiei's Curry" (比叡、カレーを作る). Due to one voice actor doing all the voices, the CD's short story is also referred to as "One Nao Show". A translated version of the short story can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H71UmCq3lWc here]. <!-- The revision before this one also had this: https://soundcloud.com/masapusan/one-nao-show -->
==Trivia==
*Her name is after ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kong%C5%8D Mount Kongou]'', located between Nara and Osaka prefectures, and literally means "Indestructible" or "Diamond".
*The radar wings that she and her sisters wear share a similar coloration and design to the alternative name for "金剛" which also means "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajra vajra]", but may be more accurately "ghanta" (bells). [http://drilbudorje.tripod.com/_Dorje.htm See this page] (scroll to 12th Century) and compare to the CG artwork.
*Her affinity for tea is based on her British heritage.
