Her default outfit consists of a black muneate over a white kimono top and bluepleated skirt, blue tasuki, brown apron based on the stern end of her flight deck, with the kana "カ" inscribed on it, black thighhighs, and platform footwear. Her rigging is very similar to Akagi's (and, by extension, all of Shibafu's carriers') own gear: a traditional yumi bow, a quiver with a replica of the ship's mast, her full flight deck attached as a shield on her left arm and carrier-like geta.
She has a stoic personality. In fan works, she is often paired with Akagi or Zuikaku. She is sometimes portrayed as having high body temperature or being warm to the touch, due to the fact that the Kaga was a converted battleship and was prone to overheating due to poor ventilation.
The historical Kaga was originally designed as a battleship before being converted into a carrier. She was scuttled after being heavily damaged at the Battle of Midway in 1942.
