I-26

Kantai Collection character introduced in the Summer 2016 event. The personification of the historic Japanese submarine I-26. Designed by Kuuro Kuro and voiced by Ogura Yui. Her nickname is "Nimu". She has long light brown hair styled in a two side up and light brown eyes. Wears a new school swimsuit (as opposed to all the other submarines who wear old school swimsuits), a sailor collared short sleeved green jacket, two-toned hairband, and sandals. She carries her machinery like a backpack. Nimu is a Type B submarine like I-19 "Iku", and like her sister she is well endowed, but slightly smaller. Her historical counterpart is responsible for dealing the final fatal blow via torpedo to the cruiser USS Juneau, which famously took the lives of the five Sullivan brothers that were serving on Juneau when she sank. This led to the institution of the Sole Survivor Policy. The submarine also managed to cause significant damage to USS Saratoga, leaving her dead in the water for a time.
