Kiri was one of 18 Matsu-class escort destroyers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during World War II. Completed in mid-1944, the ship played a minor role in the Battle off Cape Engaño in October and began escorting convoys the following month. She was moderately damaged by American aircraft while escorting a troop convoy in December. Kiri returned to Japan in January 1945 for repairs and escorted a convoy to Japanese Formosa later that month. Her activities for the rest of the war are unknown.
