Profile

Ping Hai is voiced by Misaki Kuno in Japanese.

Background

Ping Hai has smaller breasts than her sister, Ning Hai, which could be reference to the fact that Ping Hai was ultimately modified to be less top-heavy upon completion due to Guomindang financial priorities and Japanese concerns about top-heaviness after the Tomozaru incident.

Unlike Ning Hai, Ping Hai wasn't built with an aircraft hanger and ultimately had a smaller powerplant than her sister.

Moreover, an engine was removed and her AA complement was substantially reduced.
