I met Shoukaku during the 2013 Arpeggio event, with her sister Zuikaku and Taihou's joining later, the three of them became highest priority on training. But things turn south. The lack of carriers' effectiveness under the game mechanics at that time became clear during the opening stage of operation AL/MI, and I quitted KC due to the resulting anger. Taihou was already level 99, but not so Shoukaku and her sister.

I came back during winter 2014 (2015 to some people) event, and the Shoukaku sisters reached 99 in spring. And for the first time I actually thought about marrying one of my ship. I hesitated between Kaga, Taihou and Shoukaku, as they are all very important to me.

Then we had Summer 2015 event. With the new Aircraft Proficiency system, my carriers can finally shine. But during the very salty event, the sanity of the Teitoku (that is, me) became an issue, too. It seems that I will need the help of a personal companion to get through upcoming challanges. With Kaga's strict personality, we might just face even more "Teitoku-got-crazy-again" moments in the future, that's definitely not what my fleet, and I personally, need.

Shoukaku and I got married at 1st October, right after she received her K2A remodel. Unlike others who mostly focus on how much they loved their respective shipfus, I focus more on what we can give each other. As a short-tempered admiral, Shoukaku always calm me down with her warm, gentle smile; as a "unlucky, always-taking-damage carrier", I give her confidence (and not over confidence as in treating everyone else as her support ships).

A couple that supports each other, that is what I wish to achieve with Shoukaku.
