JS Ikazuchi (DD-107) is the seventh ship of the Murasame-class destroyers in service with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

However, there is no angled tripod mainmast like the one of the American Arleigh Burke-class destroyer because of the heavy weather of the Sea of Japan in winter.

[2] Destroyers built under the First Defense Build-up Plan, including the former Murasame class, adopted a unique long forecastle style called "Oranda-zaka".

[2] Ikazuchi was laid down on 25 February 1998 at Hitachi Zosen Corporation Maizuru as the 1996 plan and launched on 24 June 1999.

From 15 to 18 August 2020, joint training was conducted with elements of the US Navy which consisted of the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan and several other ships in the sea and airspace south of Okinawa.
