For her Kai Ni character design, the artist mentioned that her "ear-like flaps" were drawn from the image of the "faithful hound (忠犬)". Compare with Yuudachi. Because of how her equipment appears, she is nicknamed Guncannon from Mobile Suit Gundam. Her hair ornament in her Kai Ni design looks strikingly similar to the ornaments on Fusou Kai and Yamashiro Kai's aviation decks, but her artist declined to make a proper declaration on this and said to 'leave it to your own imagination'. Sometimes paired with Yamashiro as she provided cover (and sunk as a result) for Shigure to escape the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Some suggest that Shigure might have PTSD over night battles, inferring from her quotes. According to history, both battles (Battle of Vella Gulf and Battle of Leyte Gulf), in which she lost all of her comrades (and in the case of Vella Gulf, her own little sister), occurred during the night.
