The ship was sunk off Borneo by USS Pope on 24 January 1942 and was struck from the naval list on 10 April 1942.

The Momi class was designed with higher speed and better seakeeping than the preceding Enoki-class second-class destroyers.

[3] The turbines were designed to produce 21,500 shaft horsepower (16,000 kW) to give the ships a speed of 36 knots (67 km/h; 41 mph).

The ships carried a maximum of 275 long tons (279 t) of fuel oil which gave them a range of 3,000 nautical miles (5,600 km; 3,500 mi) at 15 knots (28 km/h; 17 mph).

In addition one boiler was removed, which reduced her speed to 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph) from 12,000 shp (8,900 kW).
