A meticulously crafted Banpresto Ichiban Kuji Premium figure of Kongou from Kantai Collection in her Oryouri Mode. The 1/8 scale statue stands at 20 cm and presents Kongou in a playful cooking pose. She wears a white apron over her navy-blue dress, a chef hat tilted jauntily, and carries a wooden spoon in one gloved hand. Her long hair flows with volume, tied with ribbons, with subtle gold trim on her outfit. The base features culinary motifs and ship-inspired insignia, all finished with vivid shading to emphasize the contrasts between fabric, metal, and porcelain-like surfaces. The sculpt captures Kongou’s confident expression and warm personality, blending playful charm with military elegance—a perfect fit for KanColle fans who enjoy a kitchen whimsy twist on a naval heroine.

Kongou is the bold and charismatic flagship of the Kongou-class, known in KanColle for her warmth, quick humor, and slightly teasing demeanor. In the game’s world, she acts as a senior sister in the fleet, guiding newer ships with a mix of regal charm and hearty practicality. Her stories mix oceanic adventures with moments of domestic comfort, which fans often interpret as an eagerness to try new things, from tea ceremonies to cooking for the fleet. In this Ichiban Kuji Premium interpretation titled Oryouri Mode, her character is reimagined in a playful kitchen role, maintaining her leadership aura while showcasing a softer, more approachable side. She values hospitality, loyalty to her fleet, and a sense of camaraderie that makes every mission feel like a shared meal. Kongou’s charm lies in that balance between dignified presence and friendly, almost mischievous warmth, which endears her to players and collectors alike across KanColle’s expanding universe.
