The Shiratsuyus were completed in 1936-37, primarily in naval yards. They were a redesign of the Hatsuharus that incorporated lessons learned from the capsizing of Tomozuru in a typhoon in 1935. They had less beam than the Hatsuharus and greater draft, and torpedo armament was increased through the use of quadruple tubes, a first for the Japanese Navy.

The final four ships of the class had further modifications that foreshadowed the Asashio class.
