Ashigara is a personification of the Imperial Japanese Navy's heavy cruiser Ashigara in the popular browser game and anime series Kantai Collection (KanColle). Portrayed as an energetic and optimistic fleet girl, Ashigara is often humorously depicted as being desperate to find a boyfriend, earning her the nickname 'Hungry Wolf.' In the series, she serves as a reliable member of the fleet, always eager for action and showing great determination in battles against the Abyssal Fleet.
