The sculpt captures her long dark hair flowing behind her and a calm, confident expression that hints at years of leadership.

The display base resembles a polished flight deck, complete with etched lines and anchor motifs, complementing Zuikaku’s dignified, battle-ready aura. Overall, the figure exudes balance between grace and strength, crafted to appeal to collectors who appreciate KanColle’s character design.
