V1 [[Azur Lane]]'s personification of the Japanese aircraft carrier [i]Hiryuu[/i], voiced by [[Ishigami Shizuka]].

h4. Appearance
In both base and retrofit forms, she has [[long hair|long]] [[white hair]], [[rabbit ears]], and [[blue eyes]]. Her [[flight deck]] is attached to one side while she launches her planes as [[hanafuda]] cards.

In her base form (post #2958390), she wears blue-colored [[Japanese clothes]] mixed with a modern [[blue skirt]] and a red belt with an anchor attached. She also wears regular white [[socks]], heeled shoes, and a [[single glove|single]] [[black gloves|black glove]] on her right hand.

In her retrofit form (post #3364961), she gains a long blue [[cape]] cut in the middle, and a blue [[gunbai]] military fan with the kanji "ryuu" (lit. dragon). She also wears a long [[necktie]] with her name printed on it, as well as a [[single thighhigh]] on her right leg. Burnt hanafuda cards are shown around her.

h4. History
In real life, she was conceived as an improved [[Souryuu (Azur Lane)|]] design to correct the seakeeping issues of the latter. Her island was located on the port side, one of the only two carriers in history (alongside [[Akagi (Azur Lane)|]]) with that configuration.

Her aviators were primarily responsible for the sinking of [[Arizona (Azur Lane)|]] in Pearl Harbor.

In the [[battle of Midway]], she was the only one out of four spared the onslaught of the American dive bombers in the morning strike, trailing them on the way to the US carriers, where her aviators crippled [[Yorktown (Azur Lane)|]]. A later afternoon strike finally put her out of action, and she was later scuttled with her Carrier Division commander [[Yamaguchi Tamon]] choosing to go down with her (although references to Tamon-maru are almost none in her Azur Lane incarnation).
