A carefree and cheerful shipgirl based on the real-life Japanese destroyer Yuudachi. She has a habit of randomly exclaiming "っぽい" ("poi"), as well as integrating it into her sentences (oftentimes at the end).

In the first anime, she's a member of the Third Torpedo Squadron and part of Fubuki's main group of friends. In the *Shimakaze Tsumujikaze no Shoujo* manga, she's introduced as a more experienced shipgirl called in to help train Shimakaze and Asashio.

Set in a world where humanity has lost control of the oceans to the “deep sea fleet,” the only hope to counter this threat are the Kanmusu, a group of girls who possess the spirit of Japanese warships. The story revolves around Fubuki, a destroyer who comes to the Chinjufu base to train with other Kanmusu. Watch as their stories unfold!
