She was sunk on November 29, 1944 by four torpedoes launched from the submarine USS Archerfish (Commander Joseph F. Enright) while she was transferred from Yokosuka to Kure - the hull compartmentation had not yet been installed.
Like many other Japanese ships, including Yamato, she took her name from a Japanese province.
