I-168

I-168 is a character from the game "Kantai Collection" (also known as KanColle), a personification of the Imperial Japanese Navy submarine I-168 from World War II. In the game, she appears as a teenage girl wearing a sailor uniform top over a blue school swimsuit, with long red hair in a ponytail and a pink ribbon. She is confident and hardworking, often calling herself "Imuya, the Sniper of the Sea". I-168's role in the game is primarily as a submarine, excelling in torpedo attacks and night battles. In the lore, she is known for sinking the American aircraft carrier USS Yorktown in World War II, which she takes pride in. While not the strongest character in terms of stats, her low resource consumption and short repair time make her very practical for resource management. I-168's design and personality are popular among players, inspiring much fan art and other fan works. She is also one of the first submarine ship girls implemented in "KanColle."
