The Yamamoto Team, also called the Cosmo Tiger Team,[1] was a fighter unit of the Lunar Air Corps under the command of Ensign Akira Yamamoto made out of former members of the battleship Yamato's air wing. The squadron was tasked with the training of young Lunar Air Corps recruits with Yamamoto herself often acting as Instructor due to Instructor Saburo Kato's repeated absences caused by his son's illness.[1]
On December 25, 2202,[3] the squadron participated in an exercise with the Yamanami Fleet at the asteroids near Jupiter. Once they got word of Yamato's revolt against the UNCF, eight members of the squadron went AWOL to join the battleship. They faced off against the Apollo Norm's air wing, but managed to escape thanks to the help of a Garmillan Lieutenant from the garmillas embassy.[2]
