Nagato

The lead ship of the Nagato-class battleships, named after Nagato Province. In Kantai Collection, Nagato has long black hair and red eyes. She wears a black and white japanese-style shirt with yellow trimming, black fingerless elbow gloves (again with yellow trimming) and a short white pleated skirt with a black stripe along the brim. She also wears a metallic garterbelt which holds in place her black and maroon thighhighs. On her head is her peculiar headgear which features the various details of the top of her main tower. Often portrayed as cool and professional if a bit prideful, being one (and the first) of the Big 7 battleships allowed to mount 16-inch guns (along with Mutsu). Secretly likes cute things. She featured in the 2015 anime as one of the major supporting characters, as the admiral's secretary ship. Her personality, originally soft but confident, was changed significantly; becoming strict, authoritative and more than a little gruff. Her voice was also changed, becoming much deeper, harsher and less feminine than it was originally in the game. This was possibly done to make her "Nagamon" persona appear as more of a contrast. As her new voice has been used in all of her post-2015 lines, it is considered to be the new standard. Her old personality and voice is retained in the original lines.
