Kitakami — Japanese Tier X cruiser.

A unique "torpedo cruiser". Originally designed as a Kuma-class scout cruiser. In 1941, along with one of her sister ships, Kitakami was laid up for major retrofitting to be equipped with an unusually powerful torpedo armament of ten quadruple torpedo tubes.

Testing of Kitakami has been suspended indefinitely.
