Now Viewing: katori_(kantai_collection)Tag type: Character 香取 (Named after the head Katori Shrine in Chiba Prefecture. "Katori" can translate to "Incense Acquisition".) Katori is a Kantai Collection character. Voiced by Kayano_Ai [1]. Illustrated by paseri. The personification of the lead ship of the Katori-class of three light cruisers which served with the Imperial_Japanese_Navy during World_War_II (Although she is listed as a "training cruiser" class vessel in Kantai Collection). She is personified around the role of a teacher, carrying a pointer, (or riding_crop for some artists,) and prominently wearing glasses. She talks in a mature, maternal, gentle, but also somewhat flirty tone. Her class was originally commissioned as training vessels as well as command vessels, especially for submarine or destroyer squadrons, but like with so much else in the Japanese arsenal, was hastily upgraded and pushed to front-line status as attrition weighed upon the IJN. This is reflected with her low maximum stats. She does have the bonus of having four slots and, as a training cruiser, an experience boost if used as a flagship in PvP. She has light brown_hair or silver_hair tied into a folded_ponytail with parted_bangs. She has blue_eyes or green_eyes. She wears a double-breasted white jacket with gold epaulettes over a white collared shirt and black necktie up top combined with a gray skirt, and pantyhose below. Her combat gear (machinery) involves a backpack-like rig holding up a smokestack and two twin-cannon turrets, as well as a bridge carried on a strap like a purse. Her shoes in this mode are armored high_heels sandals. The historical IJN Katori was sunk in Operation Hailstone [2](AKA The Raid on Truk Harbor to the Japanese,) under the bombardment of the American battleship USS Iowa on the 17th of February, 1944.
