History Characters / AzurLaneSakuraEmpireAircraftCarriers

** The backdrop of the said CG is based on the [=Start/Finish=] straight of the Shanghai International Circuit, which hosted the Chinese Grand Prix up until the Pandemic took it out of rotation in 2020.

* InterserviceRivalry: More of "Internl Rivalry." There is bad blood between the 1st and the 5th Carrier Division. And in Akagi's character quest, she is seen venting some frustrations by running them ragged.

* OutGambitted: [[Characters/AzurLaneIronbloodMainFleet Main Fleet ships (Battlecruisers, Battleships, Light & Fleet Carriers Friedrich Der Große]] plays her like a ''fiddle'' in the ''Rondo at Rainbow's End'' event. [[spoiler:By having Akagi and her faction present at Scapa Flow for when the Ironblood, now again under Bismarck's leadership and re-allied with Azur Lane, launch their assault to destroy Compiler, Friedrich strongarms her into assisting with the operation. With the Sirens now seeing her as an enemy and Mikasa & Nagato's anti-Siren faction gaining power in the Sakura Empire, Akagi's power has all but vanished]].

* MadeOfIron: A combination of high HP, Heavy Armour and a 20% damage reduction through her skills makes her nearly as tanky as [[Characters/AzurLaneIronbloodMainFleet Main Fleet ships (Battlecruisers, Battleships, Light & Fleet Carriers Friedrich Der Große]].

* JackOfAllTrades: Befitting her Ultra Rare classification, her kit is absolutely ''packed''. A passive destroyer buff, a passive carrier buff (this includes herself), passive damage reduction, a ''second'' damage buff for herself for her first two battles, a timer-based barrage that also supports the off-fleet, and a stackable debuff to an enemy's offensive and defensive abilities. Furthermore, her first equipment slot can accept any type of aircraft, giving her a greater deal of versatility and can be respecced to fit the enemy type you'll be facing (This is a bit of a HistoricalInJoke as at one time, one of the proposals for the converted real life ''Shinano'' was to be repurposed as a ''supply carrier'' (that is, a carrier who supplies the planes for other carriers) rather than the regular fleet carrier.

!!!'''Voiced by:'''

* BornLucky: A mixed bag with a luck of 75. On the one hand, she survived the war, on the other she took serious damage several times.

* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: The real Katsuragi never participated directly in any battles, and her intended air wing ended up committed to other battles like Iwo-Jima.

* HistoricalInJoke: One of her secretary lines mentions having "a high center of mass". While it can be inferred as DCupDistress, it actually refers to the "Fourth Fleet Incident" where Houshou almost capsized it a typhoon and had to be extensively rebuilt to correct the stability issues.

* HotterAndSexier: Her "Moonlit Chrome" Race Queen CG, and later her ''Dreamy White Sands'' Swimsuit CG, emphasize this trope on her to a T, both showing more skin compared to her default CG, and are interactive [=Live2D=] skins to boot. Even her facial expressions and [[https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Shinano/Quotes dialogue lines]] on both skins are [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything quite... Suggestive]], especially for a kansen of her personality.

* HotterAndSexier: The "Moonlit Chrome" Race Queen CG undeniably has her show the most allowable amount of skin among her [=CGs=] (And is an interactive [=Live2D=] skin to boot.) Even her facial expressions and dialogue lines are [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything quite... Suggestive]], especially for a kansen of her personality.

* InterserviceRivalry: There is bad blood between the 1st and the 5th Carrier Division. And in Akagi's character quest, she is seen venting some frustrations by running them ragged.

** JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
*** Even with the above in mind, the playable Akagi does occasionally show signs of softness, for instance, for all her vocal threats, she never actually delivers on them, and can actually be pretty jovial and helpful on occasion. For a specific example, she does show genuine care for the less experienced ships of her fleet in her own sidequest [[InVinoVeritas while getting drunk]] with Graf Zeppelin, and seems to be the one side of Akagi that is shown without even the slightest hint of maliciousness or contempt.

*** As a testament to how much she cares for her sister, Kaga is the only one that Akagi is welling to share the Commander with, as she'll otherwise threaten every other ship girl that looks at him funny.
* IfICantHaveYou: Her threats of being the only one for the Commander are just as much directed to him as the other ship girls. Kaga is the only exception, but of course she will be expected to share the Commander with her.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Akagi is ultimately an extremely selfish and controlling woman who only wants the Commander to be hers (whether you like or not). Everyone else be damned, ''especially'' Enterprise.

* Irony: [[Spoiler: Claims to be childhood friends to the Commander but it turns out that trope belong Unzen. It was revealed that Unzen met the Commander in the past when he was young and was smitten by him. While its unknown how old the Commander was during that time, either way it confirms Unzen to be the Commander's oldest Shipgirl acquaintance and not Junyou.]]

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: "Crimson Echoes" implies she survived the Battle of Midway, and "Visitors Dyed in Red" confirms it, to Zuikaku's surprise. Although there're some theories this is actually a case of CloningBlues.]]

* BoobsOfSteel: In particular compared to Akagi once the FanservicePack is applied, her high torpedo bomber efficiency tends to give her an edge in damage output over the other despite the two ships having otherwise near-identical base stats and skills.

* BoobsOfSteel: She has the firepower and defense to go with her sizable chest, and her "Armored Carrier" passive skill reduces high-explosive and airstrike damage against her.

* BoobsOfSteel: She's quite buxom in both her default and special [=CGs=]. And as befits her Ultra-Rare rank, she packs quite a punch for a carrier.

* BoobsOfSteel: Rather well-endowed (although not as much as, say, Azuma), and an extremely powerful carrier.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Threatens her sister with serving her tempura for dinner if she doesn't stop challenging the Eagle Union ships to duels. Given her passive aggressive attitude towards Eagle Union ships, this may not be a punishment. [[Unishment Particularly since it's established that Zuikaku ''loves'' Shoukaku's tempura.]]

* KansaiRegionalAccent: The English localization renders her dialogue with lots of "'bout"s and other cut-off gerunds (i.e. "thinkin'"), generally making her sound vaguely Southern (with "y'all").

** Her Seaside Daydreams swimsuit skin shows a more reasonable and responsible side of her, as she stops her [[Elopement]] fantasy dead in track [[TheNeedsOfTheMany since she does not want the Commander to abandon his calling here.]]
