阿武隈 (Named after the Abukuma River)
Sixth and last of the Nagara-class light cruisers.
Abukuma is a somewhat high-strung and self-conscious girl. She tends to fuss over her hair excessively, apparently as a joke about how her bow was destroyed in a collision with Kitakami. Kitakami is portrayed as having a teasing/dominant relationship with Abukuma because of this. (See pool #7431)
Abukuma has blue eyes and long blonde hair in an elaborate hairstyle featuring double bun and hair rings reminiscent of Tsukino Usagi of Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon. Her bangs come down between her eyes.
Her standard outfit is a serafuku that consists of a short-sleeved white shirt with three large buttons and an aqua pleated skirt. She also wears black knee boots.
Her battle kit features four single-cannon turrets, with two attached to her arms and two attached to her rigging at hip level.

In her second remodel, she wears an almost entirely new uniform. The serafuku now consists of a short-sleeved black jacket over a beige top, a grey sailor collar and grey pleated skirt with bike shorts underneath. She also now wears a red neck ribbon and black partially fingerless gloves, while retaining her boots.
As for her battle kit, she now carries two pistol-like 12.7cm twin guns. Quad torpedo launchers are attached to her boots and her rigging includes a shield-like platform with anti-air guns and radar. Gameplay wise, she becomes the first Light Cruiser who can carry a midget submarine and a transport ship. As the remodel is hypothetical, she needs a high level and a blueprint to remodel to this point.
History
She was historically sunk after taking damage in Surigao Strait and later being bombed while trying to make it to the nearest port (Dapitan) for repairs. Ushio was escorting her, and managed to rescue the majority of her sailors. Ushio and Abukuma are sometimes portrayed as having a little/big sister relationship because of this.
