Kazumi Kanemaru

A Lieutenant-commander in the Imperial Japanese Navy, the Shogun's treasured niece and Takamitsu's cousin. Although a naturally kind-hearted person, she has come to terms with her appointed role as the Shogun's agent in the Imperial Navy, and puts on a strong and stern face. She dislikes Takamitsu and believes that the temptations of war have turned him cruel. She herself carries no special dislike for China or Korea. Despite her misgivings, she is loyal to her country, keeping her hesitations to herself.
Before the China War, she held authority over the Southern Area Fleet, which was responsible for patrolling the waters around South East Asia. This area included many former Engineer holdings, making her relationship with Major Nakagawa especially useful.
Her flagship was formerly the destroyer IJN Kirisame. After the acquisition of IJN Haruna, her flag was transferred to that ship instead and she was given command of the Special Western Area Fleet for the duration of the war.
