akizuki (kancolle)

秋月 秋月(艦隊これくしょん) 秋月(艦これ)

Kantai Collection's personification of the Japanese destroyer Akizuki. Character design by Shizuma Yoshinori, voiced by Ozawa Ari.

She is portrayed with medium-length black hair with a hachimaki and tied to a ponytail, and blue eyes. Her default outfit, the class uniform, is composed of a white shirt with a black sailor collar, yellow neckerchief, grey corset patterned off her real-life bow, two-tone white-black gloves, white pleated miniskirt, white socks, and knee-length rudder footwear.

Her rigging consists of her real-life fire control director as a ponytail tie, 61 cm quad torpedo tubes to her back, and two hull pieces with sentient 10 cm dual-purpose guns named Chou-10cm-hou-chan. She also carries four spare 10cm barrels in a thigh strap holster on her right leg, referencing the 10cm Type 98 gun's short barrel life requiring frequent barrel replacement.

She appears somewhat older than most of the other destroyers, having a significantly larger displacement compared to the earlier models as historically, her class was meant for anti-air duties and needed a larger hull for more anti-air guns.

Personality

Akizuki's hourly lines reflect how, owing to being a later-war destroyer, her crew typically had to suffer through having a shortage of rations, where meat was rarely served. As a result, there are often jokes of her being in awe of being served even ordinary food, and having her mind blown by something luxurious. (Danbooru pool #10990)

She has been nicknamed "ducky" due to alternate Kunrei-shiki (official) Japanese romanization rendering her name as Akiduki instead of the Hepburn form (which Danbooru currently uses). Together, Akizuki and her sisters Teruzuki and Hatsuzuki are sometimes referred to as "the duckies".
