航空母艦、赤城です。空母機動部隊を編成するなら、私にお任せ下さいませ | I'm the aircraft carrier Akagi. If you're forming a mobile carrier squadron, just leave everything to me. | Referring to the 1st air craft carrier fleet, informally known as the Kido Butai (lit. Mobile unit/force) as she was the flag ship you should leave the squadron to her. | |

航空母艦、赤城です。 空母機動部隊の主力として快進撃を支えます。 日頃鍛錬を積んだ自慢の艦載機との組み合わせは、無敵艦隊とも言われたんです。 慢心…ですって？ ううん、そうかなあ……気をつけますね。 |
I'm the aircraft carrier, Akagi. As part of the core of the Mobile Strike Force, I support the victorious advances. Together with my pride experienced planes, we were called the invincible fleet. Overconfident, you say...? Hmm, perhaps so...I'll keep that in mind. |

Character
Voiced by: Saki Fujita
Illustrated by: Shibafu (しばふ)
Appearance
Akagi has long brown hair, which she leaves straight. She is typically seen wearing a chest protector (muneate) over white and red clothes along with a bow and arrow. Usually depicted as a foil to Kaga. Sometimes, she is depicted eating something (usually rice or bauxite) or is shown with a repair bucket.
Personality
She is gluttonous when it comes to bauxite (and sometimes, not just that), but fairly serious when there is work to do. Much more open and cheerful compared to Kaga, who is generally stoic in nature. When Kaga is upset (usually something to do with the Fifth Carrier Division) she also acts as a supportive figure, consoling her on the way or acting as a mediator between her and Shoukaku/Zuikaku. While Kaga is often depicted to be hostile and/or condescending towards the Fifth Carrier Division, Akagi does not appear to share her aversion and would either be shown to be neutral or even friendly with the Fifth CarDiv sisters.
Original ship
- Originally designed as an Amagi-class Battlecruiser, Akagi was converted to a carrier after the instigation of the Washington Naval Treaty in 1921.
- She was the first Fleet Carrier commissioned by Japan. (Kaga was launched before Akagi, but was commissioned after her).
- Damaged by an US air attack at the Battle of Midway and scuttled by Japanese Destroyers by the orders of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto on 5 June 1942.
Appearances in derivative works
- Akagi was one of the first characters confirmed to appear in the anime adaptation of Kantai Collection, and was also featured in the adaptation's first trailer. Her role in the anime is yet to be disclosed.
- Sings "Akatsuki No Suiheisen Ni" with Shoukaku in music album KanColle Vocal Collection (Vol.1).
- In the CCG Weiß Schwarz by Bushiroad, a special version of Akagi is available as a bonus character for the KanColle deck by purchasing more than 4 packs from a certain vendor. The quote on her card is "ボーキサイトの女王と呼んだ人は誰ですか？" which works out as "Who's the one calling me the Queen of Bauxite?" and her card title is "いらっしゃいませ! 赤城" which translates as "Welcome, Akagi!". She also has very different character art.
Trivia
File:赤城.jpg
Hungry Akagi-chan eating Reppu
- Scuttled on June 5th, 1942 by IJN destroyers Arashi, Hagikaze, Maikaze, and Nowaki.
- Officially named the "Queen of Bauxite" thanks to her reputation for eating up all the Bauxite reserves in your inventory. Despite her rarity she's fairly accessible via quest in the early levels, as a result, many new coming admirals are shocked at her Bauxite-binging and long repair times.
- There's another explanation for the "Bauxite Queen" title, as during the early plays of the games, a bug made Akagi consume lots of bauxite at each sortie, but that was fixed since then.
- Her name literally means "Red Castle", and comes from Mount Akagi in Gunma Prefecture, Japan.
