Description
Kongō is the mental model of a Fog battleship that serves as a flagship within the Fleet of Fog, the enigmatic naval force that blockades humanity. Her physical form resembles a young woman in her late teens, distinguished by very long pale-blonde hair styled into two spiky buns with long locks framing her face, pale skin, crimson eyes, and pale blue lipstick. She is the Fog incarnation of the historic Kongō-class battleship and commands the Oriental Fleet tasked with enforcing the blockade around Japan.
Kongō’s personality is defined by rigid adherence to the Admiralty Code, the core directive governing all Fog vessels. She is cold, extremely rational, and believes that mental models—the humanoid avatars of Fog ships—have no need for human emotions. She upholds order within the fleet with unwavering logic and favors strategic, long-term planning over impulsive action. Despite her emotionless exterior, she possesses a strong sense of honor and expects loyalty and respect from those under her command. Her primary motivation is to fulfill the Fleet of Fog’s mission, which includes eliminating the renegade submarine I-401 and her human allies, whom she views as a threat that must be neutralized.
In the story, Kongō initially serves as an observer but soon takes a direct, aggressive role in pursuing I-401, also known as Iona. After the sinking of the battleship Hyūga, she is reassigned as the new flagship of the Second Oriental Fleet, leading her forces in repeated engagements against the Blue Steel crew. She interacts with other Fog vessels, including her subordinate Maya, who is revealed to be an artificial intelligence assigned to monitor her, and her sister ships Kirishima and Haruna. Her primary adversarial relationship is with Gunzō Chihaya and Iona, whose defection and growing human-like emotions challenge her worldview.
Over the course of the series, Kongō’s character remains largely stoic, but she displays a capacity for direct intervention when her fleet’s objectives are threatened. She evolves from a distant commander to a hands-on combatant, eventually deciding to personally confront I-401. Her notable abilities are formidable: as a Fog battleship, she wields advanced weaponry, including a supergravity cannon capable of catastrophic destruction, and can generate powerful gravitational fields that crush enemy vessels. These abilities, combined with her strategic mind, make her one of the most dangerous adversaries the Blue Steel face.
