Nishiki Daitei-chan is a minor yet notable character in the Kantai Collection universe, inspired by the historical Type 2 Large Flying Boat used by the Imperial Japanese Navy in World War II. She is depicted as a cute, anthropomorphized seaplane tender with a playful personality, often aiding other kanmusu (ship girls) by providing air support and reconnaissance. Despite her limited dialogue, she is beloved by fans for her charming design and the important support role she plays during sorties and events in the series.
