Mei Irizaki

Mei Irizaki serves as the torpedo officer on the Harekaze, bringing an almost obsessive enthusiasm for launching torpedoes into every engagement. Despite her petite frame and below-average athletic ability, she excels as a shogi player and tactical strategist. Her personal motto—'If the cuckoo won't sing, kill it'—reflects her bold, no-nonsense approach to challenges. On the bridge, she frequently plays the straight-man role, and her seamless combat partnership with close friend Shima Tateishi makes them a formidable duo.
