*Before remodels, Kitakami is a pretty average CL. Upon remodeling to kai at lv10, the increase in her torpedo stat and the two [[61cm Quad O2 Torpedo Mount|61cm Quad O<sub>2</sub> Torpedo Mount]] she brings are a huge boost to any beginning fleet.
*Upon kai'ing, she refers to herself as "Super Kitakami-sama"
