| Introduction | そう…私が大鳳。出迎え、ありがとうございます。提督…貴方と機動部隊に勝利を！ | Yes... I am Taihou. Thank you for your reception. Admiral... I shall bring victory to you and your task force! | ||
| Kai | おはようございます！改装済み大鳳です！甲板装甲を強化！防御力もさらに向上！提督のために、露天駐機で、艦載機数も充実です！ | Good morning! It's the remodelled Taihou! Reinforced deck armour! Even higher defence! An increase in open-air planes to boost capacity just for you, admiral! | ||
| Library | 航空母艦「大鳳」です。 飛行甲板まで十分な防御を施された最新鋭の正規空母です。密閉型の格納庫も素敵でしょ？ え？ ガスが溜りやすい…ですって…失礼しちゃう。こ、今度は絶対に大丈夫！ |
I'm the Armoured Carrier, Taihou. I'm the newest and most advanced standard carrier that is armed with a flight deck. Aren't these enclosed hangars great? Hmm? You say that gas builds up easily? How rude. I-it'll be fine this time! |
Taihou was sunk by a buildup of combustible gas which caused several internal explosions that sank her. | |
| Kai | 航空母艦「大鳳」です。 飛行甲板まで十分な防御を施された最新鋭の正規空母です。密閉型の格納庫やハリケーン・バウもいい感じでしょ？ 装甲甲板もお化粧直ししてみたわ。どう？似合う？ |
I am aircraft carrier Taihou. State of the art carrier with reinforced armour all round, including the flight deck. My enclosed hangers and Hurricane Bow look good don't they? My armoured flight deck has also been redecorated. How does it look? Do you think it suits me? |
||
| Secretary 1 | 提督。大鳳の装甲甲板、気になりますか？ | Admiral. Are you interested in my armoured flight deck? | ||
| Kai | 提督。私のハリケーン・バウ、そんなに気になるの？ | Admiral. Are you really that interested in my hurricane bow? | ||
| Secretary 2 | はい。最近式の密閉型の格納庫です。流星でも烈風でも問題ありません。 | Yes, these are the newest enclosed hangars. I can fit Ryuusei and Reppuu with no problem. | ||

| Secretary 3 | そんなに、甲板の色が気になるの？…提督の顔が近くて…私の方が、気になるわ。 | Are you really that interested in the colour of my flight deck? Your face is close... it's making me feel awkward. | ||
| Kai | 未帰還機…って言葉は嫌な言葉よね。なるべくなら出したくないけれど、戦いだから。 | Martyrs... something I do not like to say. As much as I'd like to avoid saying it, it is a war we're currently in. | ||
| Idle | 提督！この大鳳を待たせるなんて･･･なんて言わないわ。訓練や戦略は大事。十分に準備してから出撃しましょ？ | Admiral! Making me wait... I won't say anymore. Training and planning are important. Shall we sortie once we are properly ready? | ||
| Secretary Married | 提督、疲れてない？ そう？なら、いいけれど。 無理は……ダメよ？ | Admiral, aren't you tired? Really? Well, that's okay. But don’t over do it… okay? | ||
| Wedding | 提督…私、あなたの期待に十分応えていますか？ そう、ならよかった♪ まだまだこんなものじゃないわ。ずっと、ずっと一緒に頑張りましょう！ | Admiral.. Did I meet your expectations? Well, that's great♪ But I've still got much more to go. Let's stay together and do our best! | ||

| Equipment 2 | いいじゃない！ 助かるわ | This is great! Much appreciated. | ||
| Kai | 気持ち的に、楽になるわね。 | This makes me content. | ||
| Equipment 3 | いい風ね | A nice wind. | ||
| ⇧ shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development | ||||
| Supply | 万全の補給と訓練があれば、七面鳥などとは言わせないわ！ | With proper supplies and training, they won't call us turkeys! | A reference to the Battle of Philippine Sea where Taihou sunk. The untrained and under equipped Japanese air force was slaughtered by the Americans, who nicknamed the battle "The Great Marianas Turkey Shoot". | |
| Docking Minor | そうね。小さな傷が命取りになることもあるわ。 | You're right. A small wound may end up a fatal one. | See: How Taihou sank. | |
| Kai | 航空燃料漏れには気をつけないと。 | Gotta make sure we don't get any fuel leaks. | ||
| Docking Major | この際きちんと直しておくことも大切ね。 | It's important to use this time to carry out some proper repairs. | ||
| Kai | よし、たまには長いお風呂に入ります！ | Okay, time to take a long bath once in a while! | ||
| Docking Complete | 修理も万全ね！ | That was a perfect repair! | ||

| Starting A Sortie | 皆いい？行くわよ？第一機動部隊、出撃！ | Everyone ready? We're going out. First mobile squadron, sortieing! | ||
| Kai | 第一機動部隊、旗艦大鳳、出撃します！ | First Mobile Squad Flagship, Taihou, heading out! | ||
| Battle Start | 最新鋭の装甲空母の本当の戦い、見せてあげる！ | I'll show you the true strength of the newest and most advanced armoured carrier! | ||
| Kai | さぁ、やるわ！第六○一航空隊、発艦始め！ | Let's do this! 601st squadron, launch! | ||
| Air Battle | 烈風と流星…。この編隊を見たかったの…！ | Reppuu and Ryuusei. I wanted to see this squadron! | Historically, Taihou was meant to carry Ryuusei and Reppuu. However, none of the two planes were ready for her commissioning. | |
| Kai | 装甲甲板は伊達ではないわ。第二次攻撃隊、発艦！ | These reinforced decks aren't just for show. Second assault squad, launch! | ||
| Attack | 優秀な子たち、本当の力を見せてあげて！ | My brilliant pilots will show you what they're made of! | ||
| Kai | 第一次攻撃隊、全機発艦！ | First assault squad, all launch! | ||

| Kai | 提督、どう？これが大鳳の、そして私たち機動部隊の本当の力なんです！ | How's this, Admiral? This is my, and our mobile squadron's true power! | ||
| Minor Damage 1 | この程度、この大鳳はびくともしないわ！ | This level of damage would not faze me! | ||
| Minor Damage 2 | はっ！ばっ、爆発！？燃料庫は？燃料は大丈夫！？ | Hah! E-explosion?! My Tankers? Are they all right?! | Taihou was known for having weak armor around the fuel tanks allowing a weak point to form. | |
| Major Damage | ああっ！ね、燃料が！引火に気をつけないと！ | Argh! M-my fuel! Gotta make sure it doesn't ignite! | Taihou was hit in the weak point along the fuel tanks and let fuel leak into the enclosed hangar. Along with inexperienced crew who couldn't ventilate the evaporated fuel, it would lead to her demise. | |
| Sunk | また…沈むのね…。でも…今度は暴れて見せたでしょ…？いいわ…。満足…よ。 | I'm sinking... again. However, you saw me going wild, didn't you? Good... I'm... satisfied. | ||
| Kai | どんなに装甲しても…沈むときは沈むのね…。でも…今度は暴れて見せたでしょ…？私は…満足…です… | No matter how thick the armour... you will sink when the time comes, huh... However, you saw me going wild, didn't you? Good... I'm... satisfied. | ||

Character[]
Appearance[]
- Has golden/light-brown eyes and medium-length brown hair with bangs over her forehead. She also wears a headband with two horn-like protrusions on either side.
- Dresses in a white long-sleeved bolero that exposes the armpits while her hurricane bow is placed below her neck; wears a pair of armored thigh-highs and a spats underneath a red pleated skirt.
- A metal-like belt with miniature-sized AA-guns is seen secured and wrapped around her waist that connects to her rigging with the bridge on the right side and her armored flight deck on the left
- Historians dispute over the material of her deck surface. In earlier WWII-related games, Taihou is usually given grey-colored deck, representing either concrete or latex-painted surface, but recent evidences tend to support that she actually used wooden deck surface.
- Unlike the other standard carriers, she uses a repeating crossbow instead of a bow. In her pre-kai form, a magazine labeled "戦" (fighters) is loaded on the crossbow, while she holds a spare magazine labeled "攻" (attackers/torpedo bombers) in her left hand.
Upgrade
- Her skirt, together with the side of her flight deck, changes to a forest green camo-like color while the top of the deck now colored black. Most likely representing latex-painted deck finish.
- The spare magazine for her crossbow is now stored in the hangars of her flight deck.
- Her illustrator, Shimada Humikane comments: "She is the modified Taihou. Aside from change in colors, she has a slightly longer hull (her carrier-shaped part behind her waist), more AA guns (behind her waist) and improved underwater defense (thicker armor around her thighs)." These are the improvements of the planned Kai-Taihou-class armored carrier, making her the only ship so far to have her Kai form based on a successor ship class, which is impossible to be remodeled into in real life.
- A confident smile can be seen on her after remodel.
Personality[]
- Taihou is a kind, shy and reserved girl. She is proud to be the first armored aircraft carrier, but at the same time, she laments about her misfortune (sinking after taking one torpedo). Her historical part did not contribute much, so in this world, she tried to run wild and do as much as possible for her Admiral.
Notes[]
- She is the first carrier in-game that can launch planes even when moderately damaged (orange).
- Has the lowest luck stat in the game.
- Can equip 10cm Twin High-angle Gun Mount (Carriage) or 10cm Twin High-angle Gun Mount Kai + Additional Machine Guns in her Expansion Slot
Trivia[]
- Her name means "great phoenix".
- The IJN wanted to build 5 Improved Taihou-class aircraft carriers in the modified Kai-Maru 5 Programme, but in the end Taihou was the only carrier of her class due to the dire state of the war and the lack of resources.
- The improved Taihou class large carriers (30.000 t) were canceled in favor of the mass production Hiryuu medium carrier, the Unryuu Class (17.000 t).
- Sunk by a single torpedo by USS Albacore during Battle of the Philippine Sea, June 19, 1944.
- The hole in the hull of her damaged CG (both normal and Kai) represents the spot where she was hit by Albacore's torpedo.
- Her being sunk six hours after a single torpedo hit is considered really unlucky, all due to an inexperienced crew, serious design flaws, and poor damage control.
- This may be reflected on in her exceedingly low luck statistics in the game.
