She's supposed to look like a delinquent. Google anime delinquent girl and you'll see a lot of the chest wrap stuff. I think this a reference to how she went down, basically absorbing the majority of the US air attacks and letting the rest of the fleet move out of range. It fits with the anime trope of the tough delinquent who redeems themselves by fighting an unwinnable fight on behalf of others. She is a gyaru because it fits with the delinquent, gyaru's are often depicted as troublemakers, and because her crew rubbed soot on her deck before her final sortie. Also, her captain insisted that she be repainted a darker color. The only thing I don't know about is the glasses, but it's probably a reference to her namesake, Miyamoto Musashi, who was known as a master strategist and philosopher in addition to being Japan's most famous swordsman. In other words, she's a mashup of fetishes because she's a complicated girl.
