==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Named after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kirishima Mount Kirishima] in Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu, an active volcano.
;General Information
*Sank following the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Battle_of_Guadalcanal Naval Battle of Guadalcanal] on 15 November 1942 by the USS ''Washington'', one of the Big 7.
* She is named after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kirishima Mount Kirishima].
*Her wreck was discovered and photographed in 1992 by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ballard Dr. Robert Ballard], the same man who discovered the RMS Titanic, [[Bismarck]], [[Ayanami]] and [[Yuudachi]]. However, there is discussion whether the wreck IS actually either Kirishima or [[Hiei]]...
* She was launched on the 1st of December 1913.
*Though a "glasses character", many fanart choose to depict her as a bespectacled brawler, tagged under [http://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E3%83%9E%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AF%E3%83%81%E3%82%A7%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%81%AE%E6%99%82%E9%96%93%E3%81%A0%E3%82%AA%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A1%21 "マイクチェックの時間だオラァ!] " ("It's mic-check time, dammit!") in pixiv. This is a nod towards her performance in the aforementioned Battle of Guadalcanal, where she gave the newly built USS ''South Dakota'' "a hard whack", taking out the much younger battleship's fire control systems and communications. Not too shabby, especially if one considers her age by then (she was launched in 1913 as a battlecruiser and was rebuilt in 1927 and 1934 as a battleship). Her exceptional firepower (for a non-''Yamato'' ship) after her second remodel also nods to this brutal side of her. Fanart often chooses to depict her as a Yakuza leader, tagged under "[http://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E9%9C%A7%E5%B3%B6%E7%B5%84 霧島組]" on pixiv on account of her character-type of an "Intellectual Gangster".
* Sank following the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Battle_of_Guadalcanal Naval Battle of Guadalcanal] on 15 November 1942 by the USS [[Washington]].
;Update History
* She was part of the original game's launch when the game was released on the 23rd of April 2013.
* She got her Kai Ni on the 28th of March 2014.

Fanart often chooses to depict her as a Yakuza leader, tagged under "[http://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E9%9C%A7%E5%B3%B6%E7%B5%84 霧島組]" on pixiv on account of her character-type of an "Intellectual Gangster".
*She appeared in the first Kancolle Drama CD, also dubbed One Nao show, along with other characters in a mini skit.
