Now Viewing: arashi_(kantai_collection)Tag type: Character 嵐 ("Storm") Arashi is the 16th of the 19 Kagerou_(Kantai_Collection)-class destroyers. Her name literally means "Storm". Arashi has a rough style of speech and an aggressive personality. She has yellow_eyes and medium-length messy_hair red hair with an ahoge. Arashi clothing similar to other Kagerou-class destroyers, including a white blouse with a black vest, and a red kerchief. She also wears a black pleated_skirt, white gloves, black_legwear thighhighs, and loafers. Her her combat gear (machinery) includes a twin-cannon turret held like a large pistol, with a backpack-like mount for a smokestack that carries swing-arms for more turrets. On her hip, she carries a pouch with depth charges, and tosses one in her official_art. She also wears a belt that carries smaller anti-air guns and a searchlight as a belt buckle. (Due to similarity of design, the buckle can bring Kamen_Rider references.) The historical IJN Arashi bears the quite dubious distinction of being the ship that may have inadvertently led to the crushing Japanese loss at Midway. Arashi had separated from the group to hunt down the American submarine, USS Nautilus, and the lost American pilots hunting for Japanese carriers found, and tailed Arashi back to the main Japanese fleet. The attack that followed destroyed both Akagi_(Kantai_Collection) and Kaga_(Kantai_Collection). (Souryuu_(Kantai_Collection) was also near-simultaneously fatally wounded, but this was by a different air wing, so it wasn't Arashi's fault.) She later went on to be sunk during the humiliating Battle of Vella Gulf [1], where American radar (and the Japanese lack thereof) resulted in a night battle where American forces achieved total surprise and were never struck by a single round of enemy fire. She sank alongside Kawakaze_(Kantai_Collection) and her sister-ship Hagikaze_(Kantai_Collection), while Shigure_(Kantai_Collection) escaped.
