Yep, he knows what he's doing. Kashima seems to be his most popular girl since Hamakaze, who was also one of the few to reach the 1K benchmark quickly (the OG DD with DDs, who would've thought). Maya, Isokaze and Urakaze have their own followings, but only Maya has hit the 1K mark thus far, at a much slower rate than Kashima and Hamatits.

...the point of all of this being, there are only a handful of girls who reach this amount of popularity in such a short time. This is gonna sound kinda negative, but I thought RO was going to be the last breakout popular character Kancolle would have for a while. A big portion of the girls released in the past year hit the ~300-500 mark and just plateau from there. To see a training cruiser, of all ship types, get this much love? Kinda surprising. Curious to see what he has in store for us next.
