Kantai Collection (艦隊これくしょん), also known as KanColle, is a free-to-play Japanese web browser game developed by Kadokawa Games and published by DMM.com. The game personifies World War II warships as teenage girls and young adult women, known as "ship girls" or "kanmusu". Players take on the role of an admiral, commanding these girls in battles, maintenance, and upgrades. One notable ship girl is the battleship Valiant (ヴァリアント), a representation of the Royal Navy's Queen Elizabeth-class battleship HMS Valiant. She is depicted as a courageous and straightforward character who refers to her sister (Warspite) as "Aneki" and uses "boku" to refer to herself. Valiant is designed by Konishi and is considered a powerful asset in the game. KanColle has gained immense popularity in Japan and has expanded into various media, including anime and manga. Players progress through the game by collecting and developing kanmusu, participating in battles, and engaging in diverse in-game events.
