- In the second refit, which began in 1933, in addition to replacing the engine, the ship's artillery capabilities were improved and its anti-aircraft and aviation armament was strengthened.
- The sister ships Kongo and Hiei were built by British Vickers, Yokosuka Naval Arsenal, and Kirishima by Mitsubishi Nagasaki Shipyard.
