Visited the coronation of George VI, where British journalists characterized her as a "hungry wolf" - built to be deadly, not comfortable for her crew. The IJN took this as a compliment, and "the Hungry Wolf" became legend. Defeated Exeter in the Java Sea and fell to HMS Trenchant in June 1945.

History Trivia

• She is named after Mt. Ashigara, located at the border of Kanagawa and Shizuoka prefectures.
• Ashigara was given the nickname "Hungry Wolf" by a British reporter when she participated in the naval review held at the time of King George VI's coronation saying that her crew seemed to hunger for battle. This is reflected by Ashigara's wolf ears on her head.
