Mogami (最上) was the second ship in the Yodo class of high-speed protected cruisers in the Imperial Japanese Navy. Officially rated as a tsūhōkan, meaning dispatch boat or aviso, she was named after the Mogami River in northern Honshū, Japan. Her sister ship was Yodo. Yodo had a clipper bow and two smokestacks, whereas Mogami had a straight raked bow with three smokestacks.
