The Hatsuharus were completed in 1933-35, primarily in naval yards. They had the distinction of being the first Japanese destroyers to enter service armed with the Long Lance torpedo.

The London Naval Treaty of 1930 allowed each navy to build a maximum of 16% of its destroyers with a displacement of up to 1850 tons. The remainder could not exceed 1500 tons. By the time the Hatsuharus were under design, Japan had reached its quota for the heavier destroyers, and the new class attempted to fit as much of the capability of the 1850 ton destroyers as possible onto a 1500 ton displacement. Considerable ingenuity went into weight savings, but the design attempted too much, and the final weight was greater than hoped for. The ships were also quite top heavy.

After the Tomozuru capsized in a typhoon, the Hatsuharus were thoroughly redesigned to reduce top weight. The superstructure was cut down, a single 5" gun and one bank of torpedoes was removed, and displacement increased to 2099 tons. (Japan had by this point renounced the naval treaty system.) Thus stabilized, the ships became capable units. However, six additional units planned were redesigned as the Shiratsuyu class to incorporate the lessons learned from the first six units.
