The Otome-gumi, is a Kobu pilot training project initiated by General Yoneda to find potential candidates to bolster the might of the Teikoku Kagekidan. After the resolution to the Kuronosukai affair the members of the Hana-gumi went on a training retreat to America, while they were there Tokyo was attacked by a new threat called the �gDark Ones�h; it was up to the Otome-gumi to fend off the Dark Ones by themselves. The Otome-gumi more then proved it's worth saving Tokyo from destruction, and saving two poor souls who had come under the sway of the Dark One's power. They're only appearance to date was in the musical �gHanasaku Otome�h, where they were portrayed on stage by the girls of the Aoyama Show-jo Kagekidan; they have however been referenced in other ST material.
