Stat-wise, she is nothing special. She's got a higher AA and ASW stat than your average destroyer, but notably lower firepower instead. Outside of stats, she is quite special though. Notably, she is the only ship girl known for being an artist (very possibly a doujin manga artist, considering her lines), or at least being into drawing. Of course in fan culture she is often shown in a setting where she is drawing a doujin manga, or one way or another participicating at events such as Comiket.

What is more, unlike many other more innocent destroyers, she is clearly shown to have some sexual awareness in her lines (secretary (3) line for example) and even some slight hint of suggestiveness, so naturally in fan culture the doujins she draws are often (R-18) works which mostly contain other ship girls or even Akigumo herself with her admiral (this is actually canon to a degree, if you look at her marriage line), often leading to hilarious situtations. This trait is the main reason I've become to like her myself.
