Tag type: Character

The Kantai_Collection version of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) fleet carrier Akagi. Named after Mount Akagi [1]. Literally, this means "Red Castle."

Akagi has long_hair, straight_hair, brown_hair and brown_eyes. She is typically seen wearing a muneate over white and red japanese_clothes in a nontraditional_miko style with a red tasuki. She wears white thighhighs

Her combat gear (machinery) includes notably less armor or machinery than most shipgirls. She holds a traditional Kyuudou bow_(weapon) and has arrows in a quiver slung over her shoulder by a strap which also has a replica of her ship's mast. On her right arm, she has her flight deck worn like a shield. She wears geta-like sandals that have carrier-like decks on them.

The historical IJN Akagi was one of the oldest IJN carriers, and therefore carried the most elite air crews, leading to the KanColle Akagi calling herself "The Pride of the First Carrier Division." The IJN Akagi was notably remodeled many times, at one time having "triple flight decks" that would theoretically allow planes to take off in a hurry from inside the hangar itself. Since the runway was so short (and crowded by the superfluous cruiser-sized cannons) that no combat aircraft could use it, and it created structural vulnerabilities, this idea was abandoned and Akagi was remodeled to a single flight deck design. Like Ryuujou_(Kantai_Collection), Akagi was also originally a flattop with no island.

The IJN Akagi served with distinction during the early conflict with China, lead the Attack on Pearl Harbor [2] and assisted in sinking ships of the British Eastern Fleet in the Indian Ocean Raid [3]. She met a fiery and infamous end in the disastrous Battle of Midway [4] after the Arashi_(Kantai_Collection) led a squadron of American aircraft to her and the Kaga, and a single bomb during refueling managed to detonate several of the Akagi's fully armed and fueled torpedo bombers (and their torpedoes) and disable her damage control at once, resulting in a day-long fire gradually consuming the whole ship. She was ultimately scuttled by torpedoes by four of her escorting destroyers.

Akagi is often paired with Kaga_(Kantai_Collection) – either as lovers or as platonic life partners – as they formed the 1st Carrier Division. Akagi is often used as a foil to the strict, formal, taciturn, and militaristic Kaga, being more feminine and easygoing, sometimes to a comedic fault.

Akagi has a notable fan (or in the anime, canon,) reputation as a big eater eating. Although some ships (Yamato_(Kantai_Collection) and Musashi_(Kantai_Collection) in particular) are noted for consuming even more, Akagi still remains the most memetically famous for this.
