Personality
Brash, proud and overly confident at times.

Sometimes referred to as a "Turkey" by western fans, due to one of her battle lines.

In the anime, called "Flight Deck" Chest by Ooi.

Trivia

 * This can also be attributed to her name, which uses the kanji for luck and crane.
 * The camo pattern of her upgraded model clothes refer to the actual flight deck camouflage pattern used during Leyte Gulf battle, the same pattern was used on Zuihou, Chitose and Chiyoda.
 * Sunk by air attack in the Battle of Leyte Gulf on 25 October 1944.
