Tier X Destroyer Special

AL Shimakaze

The only destroyer of her class in service to the Sakura Empire. Not only does she have high speed and powerful torpedoes, but she also possesses a passionate heart and a good sense of humor and wit. Although she can be clumsy at times and often gets in trouble, she always turns it into a victory. From the Azur Lane game.
