*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.

===Behind the Design===  

[[File:PrototypeFubuki.png|right]]

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|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.

 

 

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 [[Maruyu]]s 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.

*She was a unique ship with no sister ships.  In media, she is often shown as depressed by this.

*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.
