As someone said here already. Because of similar roles. Since we're using the USN hull naming classification. We should only stick to WW2-era. not beyond. According to USN's doctrine, they might fit the role, if only on the lightweight side for their liking. So no, they don't really fit to be escort destroyers, neither in IJN nor USN.

Personally, I don't mind whatever hullcode they would have, as long as my loli kaibokans aren't lumped into the same category as the fleet destroyers.

Well they aren't designed anyway to fight in the frontlines anyway.
