Kantai Collection's personification of the Japanese escort ship Hirato. Character design by Akasaka Yuzu.

She has short grey hair with blue gradient tips, and brown eyes with glasses. Her default outfit is the Etorofu-class uniform: a white shirt with a blue sailor collar, aqua neckerchief, white gloves, blue pleated skirt, white thighhighs, and grey loafers.

Her rigging is shared with the rest of the class: her funnel and masts to her back, a 12 cm handgun mount, 25 mm anti-aircraft gun and depth charges on thigh straps, additional depth charges slung to her side, an anchor with ankle chain, and a blue ankle ribbon.

As a coastal defense ship, her class is even smaller than destroyers, and as such, she is portrayed as an "elementary school student" character, even younger than the generally "middle school" appearances of the destroyers. However, Hirato comes off looking like a old woman and her somewhat soft-spoken demeanor seems to further support this.

The historical ship was completed on September 28th, 1943 and sunk by USS Growler (SS-215) on September 12th, 1944 in the South China Sea.
