V1 [[Kantai Collection]]'s personification of the Japanese battleship [i]Nagato[/i], named after Nagato Province (now Yamaguchi Prefecture).
Character design by [[Shizuma Yoshinori]], voiced by [[Sakura Ayane]].

h4. Appearance
In-game, Nagato has [[long_hair|long]] [[black hair]] and [[red eyes]]. She wears a black and white japanese-style shirt with yellow trimming, [[black_gloves|black]] [[fingerless_gloves|fingerless]] [[elbow gloves]] (again with yellow trimming) and a [[miniskirt|short]] white [[pleated skirt]] with a black stripe along the brim. She also wears a metallic garterbelt which holds in place her black and maroon [[thighhighs]]. On her head is her peculiar [[headgear]] which features the various details of the top of her main tower.

Her anime appearance also featured a custom swimsuit (post #2006809). It is a [[white one-piece swimsuit]] styled as a [[criss-cross halter]] [[bikini]], with a pair of [[white panties|white]] [[highleg panties]] pulled over a [[black panties|black thong]]. The suit exposes her [[cleavage]], primarily showing [[sideboob]].

She later gained her second remodel/kai ni on 22 May 2017. See [[Nagato Kai Ni (Kancolle)|]] for details.

She's also fairly often drawn wearing a light yellow apron with the words "[[Puka Puka]]" on them, with a ship surrounded by water ripples in the center. This had its origin in a drawing by Nagato's official artist, [[Shizuma Yoshinori]]. This can be seen in post #1510864.

h4. Personality
Often portrayed as cool and professional if a bit prideful, being one (and the first) of the Big 7 battleships allowed to mount 16-inch guns (along with [[mutsu (kancolle)|Mutsu]]). Secretly likes cute things.

She featured in the 2015 anime as one of the major supporting characters, as the [[admiral (kancolle)|admiral]]'s secretary ship. Her personality, originally soft but confident, was changed significantly; becoming strict, authoritative and more than a little gruff. Her voice was also changed, becoming [i]much[/i] deeper, harsher and less feminine than it was originally in the game, with more than a slight streak of insecurity. This was possibly done to make her "Nagamon" persona appear as more of a contrast. As her new voice has been used in all of her post-2015 lines, it is considered to be the new standard. Her old personality and voice is retained in the original lines.

h4. History
In real life, she was [[Yamamoto Isoroku]]'s flagship in the first months of the war (even gave the signal for the Pearl Harbor attack to commence from her bridge). She served as part of BatDiv1 with [[Yamato (Kancolle)|]] and [[Mutsu (Kancolle)|]] in the [[battle of Midway]].
After the war, she was used along with [[sakawa (kancolle)|Sakawa]], [[prinz eugen (kancolle)|Prinz Eugen]] and [[saratoga (kancolle)|Saratoga]] as a target at Bikini Atoll during [[Operation Crossroads]]. She was sunk after the Baker test from a combination of damage sustained on the attack on Yokosuka and the two nuclear tests.

h4. Trivia
There's a joke/meme common on [[4chan]] and in [[World of Warships]] that Nagato enjoys anal play. This is *possibly* because the second kanji in her name: 長門 is the same as the second kanji in anus: 肛門. But the real reason is unknown.
