She was Zuikaku, Shoukaku and Taiho's escort during the battle of the Phillippines Sea. She participated to the depth charge attempt on USS Albacore when the latter torpedoed Taiho, and rescued some parts of the crew of both Shoukaku and Taiho.

She also participated many trainings with those three carriers before the battles, and she was an part of Ozawa's force during the battle of Leyte Gulf, along with Zuikaku. Both were sunk during that battle.

Although she did many other escorts, she pretty much ended her life with the three remaining carriers, and saw them all sinking, taking with them the entire carrier power of Japan. No wonder why she cares so much about their safety now.
