Famous manga author and a *Kawakaze Admiral Kazuo Koike has passed away on April 17th at the age of 82.

(*as in, ringed Kawakaze in-game)

I never knew that Kazuo Koike was an admiral.

He started playing back in 2015 or 2016, cant recall, this made quite the sensation among KC players.

I can confirm Kawakaze was his waifu

Some of Kawakaze's lines contain katakana "ン" where we normally write hiragana "ん" instead, such as "読み方、間違えンなよ" in her introduction line. This is actually the same manner of Mr. Koike when he writes Japanese lines in his comics, and the reason he got interested in playing KanColle soon after she was introduced.
