===Important Information===
* Required for quest:
: She is just an average destroyer at Kai that doesn't have anything to set her apart from the rest. Her Kai Ni gain the ability to equip Daihatsu Landing Craft and gives her a notable increase to her combat stats. She can functon as an anti-installation ship but her relatively low firepower and inability to equip Ka-Mi tanks reduces her effectiveness.
** Mandatory:

*** {{Q|B68}}
** Optional:
