The Kashi was a Japanese destroyer of the Momo-class, built in Japan, that served in the last part of World War One, and throughout World War Two, as part of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and the Imperial Manchukuo Navy, before being returned to the Imperial Japanese Navy.
The Kashi along with the other three destroyers in the Momo class, served in Malta from August 1917 to the end of World War One in November 11, 1918. They were attached to the 15th Flotilla along with the cruiser Idzumo, assigned to protect convoys.
Kashi was transferred to the Manchukuo Imperial Navy on 1 May 1937 and was renamed Hai Wei.
On 6 June 1942, Hai Wei was transferred back to the Imperial Japanese Navy, and reclassified as the auxiliary escort Kari. The ship fought in World War II, and was sunk by United States Navy aircraft from the Fast Carrier Task Force off of Okinawa on 10 October 1944.
