The name means wind off the sea. Okikaze was a Minekaze-class destroyer. Maizuru Naval Arsenal laid her down on 22 February 1919, launched her on 3 October 1919 and completed her on 17 August 1920. She served in Destroyer Division 2 with Minekaze, Sawakaze and Yakaze, escorting Akagi for aircrew rescue from 1930 to 1932 and patrolling the Yangtze in 1932.
At Pearl Harbor she was at the Ominato Guard District, patrolling the Tsugaru Strait and the southern Hokkaido coast. In April 1942 she was recalled to Yokosuka for anti-submarine patrol at the entrance of Tokyo Bay, with only occasional convoy runs to Kushimoto and patrols off northern Honshu.
On 10 January 1943 USS Trigger torpedoed her 35 miles southeast of Yokosuka, within sight of Katsura Lighthouse. One torpedo hit under the well deck and folded her forecastle up at 45 degrees, and another hit the stern. She sank with most of her crew, including the captain. She stayed on the Navy List until 1 March 1944.
