A tomboyish swordswoman based on the real-life Japanese light cruiser Tenryuu, and sister ship to Tatsuta. She's best known for her tough-girl persona, though there's a running gag that she's terrified of ghosts—much to Tatsuta's amusement. Her catchphrase, "Fufufu, ya scared?" has become iconic.
In the movie, she fights as part of the Mikawa Fleet, dueling a Ne-Class Heavy Cruiser during a night battle. Across various Kancolle tie-in media, she takes on a mentor or quasi-parental role with younger shipgirls. This stems from an in-joke among Japanese fans where a squad of Tenryuu plus several destroyers (mimicking the real historical role of Tenryuu-class cruisers commanding destroyer squadrons) got nicknamed "Tenryuu's Kindergarten"—and the name stuck. Fans often note how she's simultaneously trying to look tough while basically running around babysitting.
