From the front, Iowa stands in a dignified pose befitting a veteran battleship admiral, rendered in Haregi Mode. Her long hair flows with a soft breeze, each strand carefully shaded to reveal depth and volume. The ceremonial outfit blends maritime motifs with ceremonial attire: a layered dress with navy blue and white tones, gold trim, and delicate anchor emblems on the bodice. The figure's pose emphasizes grace and authority, with a poised hand and a slight tilt of the head that conveys confidence. The base features tiered steps and panels inspired by a ship deck, and subtle wave motifs complete the maritime theme. The painterly finish highlights subtle color gradations and crisp sculpt detail, from the ruffles on the sleeves to the gleam of metallic accents. Overall, the piece presents a refined, ceremonial take on Iowa, suitable for display in a cabinet or on a collector's shelf.

In Kantai Collection, Iowa is portrayed as a battle-hardened flagship: a proud and protective elder sister among the fleet, she carries the weight of leadership with calm resolve. As a member of the KanColle fleet, the Iowa-class battleship persona values discipline, strategic thinking, and unwavering loyalty to her admiral. She acts as a stabilizing force during campaigns, coordinating fleet actions and mentoring younger ships, offering steady guidance when the seas grow rough. Her interactions with the player-admiral emphasize trust, mutual respect, and a sense of protective duty toward the fleet. The Haregi Mode variant emphasizes her ceremonial leadership persona, blending grace with the gravitas of command.
