Tamakoma-2 (玉狛第二, Tamakoma Dai-ni) is a new team formed by Osamu Mikumo, its leader, Yūma Kuga, Chika Amatori and later on, Hyuse. The Squad was formed because Chika wanted to join the Away Team and search for Chika's lost brother and friend, and because Replica asked Osamu to give Yūma a new goal. Osamu originally wanted Yūma to be the team captain, but Yūma only accepted joining Tamakoma Branch on the condition that Osamu was captain.
