Z23

Z23 (affectionately nicknamed "Nimi") is a shipgirl from the Azur Lane franchise. As a Type 1936A destroyer and a member of the Iron Blood faction, she stands out as a prominent character, largely because she serves as one of the starter ships in the Azur Lane mobile game.
She maintains close friendships with Javelin, Laffey, and Ayanami, even though Javelin and Laffey belong to the opposing Azur Lane faction (while Nimi and Ayanami are part of the Crimson Axis). Despite their differing backgrounds, the four are frequently depicted throughout the franchise enjoying each other's company.
Nimi's bond with these three dear friends is highlighted further in the Azur Lane: Slow Ahead! anime, where the quartet appears as the main characters.
