Encyclopedia No.: 131 (After remodeling: "Yamato Kai" is No. 136, "Yamato Kai Ni" is No. 396, and "Yamato Kai Ni Juu" is No. 400) Ship Class: 1st Ship of the Yamato-class Battleships Ship Type: Battleship (Transitions to "Super Dreadnought Aviation Battleship" upon remodeling to "Yamato Kai Ni Juu") Illustrator: Yoshinori Shizuma Personality: A graceful Yamato Nadeshiko who combines elegance and kindness befitting the pinnacle of battleships. Gentle Dignity: She speaks to everyone in polite, formal language and maintains a big-sisterly attitude full of maternal warmth. Strong Sense of Responsibility: As the "secret weapon" and trump card of the Imperial Japanese Navy, she takes great pride and feels a heavy responsibility regarding her immense power. "Yamato Hotel" Complex: In history, she rarely saw front-line action and was mocked as the "Yamato Hotel" due to her luxurious facilities. She is very sensitive about this and has a cute, sulky side where she insists, "I won't let you call me a hotel!" Glutton Trait: Reflecting her historical fuel inefficiency, she is one of the biggest eaters (high resource consumption) in the game, a fact she finds slightly embarrassing. Appearance: Designed by Yoshinori Shizuma, she is characterized by an overwhelming presence and a stunning, beautiful figure. Hair: Voluminous, long brown hair that almost reaches the ground. She has a distinctive cowlick on top of her head shaped like the character for "one" (a homage to her antenna). Eyes: Mysterious red eyes. Clothing: A sailor-style outfit based on white and black with red accents. Cherry blossom motifs are scattered throughout the design. It is a blend of Japanese and Western styles, finished with black thigh-high socks. Equipment (Rigging): World-class massive rigging. On her back, she carries giant main battery turrets modeled after the historical 46cm triple guns, along with secondary batteries and radar. The sheer volume of her rigging overwhelms other ship girls. Umbrella Sub-rigging: Her trademark is a mechanical umbrella modeled after the Type 21 Air Search Radar. Combat Capability and Cost: Boasts top-tier durability and firepower, capable of crushing Abyssals in a single blow. Conversely, the amount of fuel, ammo, and steel consumed during sorties or repairs is literally at a "national budget level," requiring a commander's resolve to operate. Timekeeper Function: When set as the secretary ship, she announces the time every hour. She provides domestic support, such as giving you Ramune or cooking lavish dinners (which might be barley rice or omurice).
