Kitakami

Kitakami (北上 ?) was a Kuma class cruiser in the Imperial Japanese Navy, named after the Kitakami River in Iwate Prefecture, Japan.

Appearance
Both Kitakami and Ooi share the same 3 forms.

(Base): Light green serafuku top with dark green skirt. She carries a watering can-like turret gun as well as a double torpedo launcher.

(Torpedo Cruiser/Kai): The top becomes dark green. Several quad torpedo launchers are strapped to their body.

(Kai 2): They change to a khaki and dark green uniform that shows their midriff. They now have quintuple torpedo launchers instead of the quad torpedo launchers.

Kitakami herself has long black hair with the back in a braid, blunt bangs and hime cut-like payot tied low.

Personality
Sometimes, she's a genuinely nice girl; other times, she trolls Abukuma. She often expresses her annoyance with the Destroyers. She is also likely to boast her abilities, such as refering herself as "Super Kitakami-sama" after remodeling.

The nature of her relationship with Ooi varies but they are usually very close to each other.

Trivia
Scrapped 10 August 1946.
 * She is also known as KTKM-sama.
 * Treats Ooi rather differently than the player.
 * Her name is taken from the "Kitakami River".
 * After being remodelled into torpedo cruisers, Kitakami, Ooi and Kiso can equip Type-A Kou-hyouteki to fire opening torpedoes before shelling phase.
