A proposal for what would become the Yamato-class (Proj. A-140-J2) added as part of the collaboration between Azur Lane and World of Warships. Izumo was designed with an all-forward main battery consisting of triple 16.1" guns, similar to HMS Rodney and Nelson. The design was ultimately abandoned in favor of the 18.1" gun-armed design that would see two ships completed as specified and sent into frontline service. The name "Izumo" would later go on to grace a class of helicopter carrier for the modern JMSDF.
Izumo is portrayed as a purple-haired oni sporting a samurai-inspired outfit, brandishing a large katana as a melee weapon with another sheathed. Her personality is highly-contentious, and she is verbally abusive towards the Commander in an attempt to hide her true nature.
In reference to World of Warships, Izumo gains improved protection against enemy AP rounds, but in turn suffers a higher chance to catch fire, similar to her WoWS counterpart.
