Yukikaze in a way reminds me of HUNK of Resident Evil fame... They both even have nicknames associated with death.
Yukikaze - a.k.a. "Shinigami" during her time in the IJN she gained the nickname "Shinigami" due to the fact the bigger ships she escorted rarely survived (Hiei being a particularly infamous example). (Danbooru wiki_pages - Yukikaze)
HUNK - a.k.a. "Grim Reaper" In only two years, HUNK proceeded to carry out a large number of successful operations, many of which he was the only survivor. This earned him the nickname "Grim Reaper". (Resident Evil wiki)

HUNK's alias in the Japanese version is straight up "Shinigami".
(Or, rather, the word "shinigami" is a straight-up import of the Western concept of the Grim Reaper or Death personified.)
