- High ASW and armour.
Fit Bonuses
Hidden Fit Bonuses
- She has accuracy and firepower bonuses when equipped with certain medium guns. Please see Gun Fit Bonuses for mode details.
Analysis
Kinu Kai
Priority: Low
- At first remodel, she has decent Firepower and Torpedo stat, for a light cruiser, meaning she can do Artillery Spotting with okay-ish damage at day and pack a decent punch at night, too.
- Her ASW stat also allow her to perform OASW attacks with proper setup.
Kinu Kai Ni
Priority: Medium-High
- Her second remodel increases her AA stats, but more importantly allows her to use tanks and Daihatsu, meaning that she can now be used to increase expedition income or attack enemy installations.
- Furthermore, she comes with built-in resource collection bonus of "one Daihatsu's worth", meaning that she grants a +5% resource bonus (before cap) to expedition gains in addition to any Daihatsu she might be carrying.
- Similarly, she counts as carrying an extra Daihatsu during Transport Operations, meaning an extra 8 TP off the gauge for S-rank victory.
- This bonus does not apply to anti-installation combat, however.
- She also gains two special Anti-Air Cut-In setup, one of which is interesting because merely requires a special machine gun in her Reinforcement Expansion slot.
- Take note that this remodel requires a Blueprint.
Recommended Roles
- ASW
- Expeditions (Second remodel)
- Anti-Air (Second remodel)
- Anti-installation (Second remodel)
- Transport operations (Second remodel)
Important Info
- Required for A63, A73, A74, B55, B84, B85 and B86.

Trivia
- Sunk 26 October 1944 bombed by USN aircraft SW of Masbate, Sibuyan Sea 11°45′N 123°11′E
- Though the origin of her name is the Kinu River, 鬼怒 literally means "angry goblin", and this accounts for her unique pose and character.
