taiyou (kancolle)
Kantai Collection's personification of the Japanese escort carrier Taiyou. The remodeled form of Kasuga Maru. Character design by Shibafu.
As Taiyou (but not Taiyou Kai), she is visually nearly identical to her unremodeled form, and has long dark brown hair in a folded ponytail held in place with a blue hair ribbon, and swept bangs. She has brown tareme-style eyes. Similar to Shibafu's fleet carriers, Kasuga Maru wears a white dougi top with a red hakama short skirt, and black socks. On her left hand, she wears a thick falconry glove. Following further remodeling, she wears an olive dougi with a green hakama skirt, and in Kai-Ni, she wears a grey scarf.
Her rigging involves a flight deck strapped to her right arm, falconry-related steel cases strapped to her torso, and steel platform boots. In her Kai-Ni form, she also wears headphones with a radio tower on the right side, and her flight deck has a camouflage pattern.
Her name means "goshawk", which was a prized bird of prey among the Edo-era Samurai class.
