Kayoko Himeji

Height: 148 cm (4'9")

She is responsible for operating the Harekaze's No. 2 torpedo tube, including traversing and firing.

She has an easygoing personality and loves bowling, an interest influenced by her father, who is a professional bowler. She has even competed against fellow bowling enthusiast Ritsuko in a tournament.

Inspired by the sight of her mother—a crew member on an ocean-going liner—in uniform, she aspired to a career in the maritime industry and enrolled in a maritime school. She sometimes joins her mother's ship when her father is away on overseas voyages; consequently, while she has extensive experience abroad and is skilled at English listening comprehension, she is extremely poor at speaking the language. Quiet by nature, she is almost always with Ritsuko while aboard the Harekaze, except when they are manning their separate torpedo tube stations. She is also said to be knowledgeable about sumo wrestling, thanks to her family's influence.
