Banpresto's Kantai Collection Kongou Kai Ni figure captures the famous flagship in her Kai Ni upgrade. Standing in a dramatic mid-gesture pose, she leans slightly forward with one hand extended and the other gripping the ship's equipment, exuding confidence and warmth. The sculpt reproduces her long, flowing hair with delicate strands, and her uniform with crisp lines, gold trim, and miniature anchor-like accents that nod to her seafaring origins. The paintwork features subtle shading on the navy blue and white uniform, with clean separation between colors and a glossy finish on metal parts. The base evokes a ship deck and spray of waves, and the overall silhouette emphasizes her commanding presence. The 150 mm figure is designed to be eye-catching from every angle, with attention to creases in fabric, buckles, and jewelry-like pieces that accompany the Kai Ni look.

Kongou, in Kantai Collection, is the bold and spirited flagship of the 2nd Fleet, a ship girl who blends strength with a cheerful, sisterly disposition. As she advances to Kai Ni, her armor and weaponry grow more imposing, reflecting her steady growth and combat experience. She greets every day with a ready smile, often acting as an energizing elder sister to the younger fleet girls at Chinjufu, encouraging teamwork and camaraderie. Her Kai Ni incarnation adds a more mature, protective demeanor, while preserving her signature enthusiasm for training, singing, and the thrill of battle. In sea-battles and events, Kongou leads with unwavering morale, inspiring allies with her confident voice and steadfast resolve, embodying the pride of the fleet and the enduring spirit of the KanColle universe.
