A girl with an aggressive attitude. She has a mixed martial arts and professional wrestling background, but she aspires to be a singing star, just like her idol, Hatoko Daikan'yama.

She also comes from a heavily martial arts background, to which she is very adept and very proud of. However, she dreams with becoming an Idol Singer and has posters of a pop diva plastered all over her walls, and practically fangasmed at the idea of being on stage with the same pop diva as result of winning a contest, even going so far to have her imagination imagine a scenario where the pop diva loves the music SO much that she brings Tsugumi on as a duet partner for the shows.

Kamome Sengakuji
Voiced by: Miki Nagasawa (JP), Allison Keith (EN)
A girl from Osaka who aspires for money and would do anything for it, though she has hidden depths and is smarter than she appears. She is the only girl to know about the Pati-Pis transforming without a demonstration, as she gained information from her grandfather. Her Pata-Pi is Billiken, a futuristic version of a piggy bank and counting machine. It transforms into the Diva Amphitrite.
- A-Cup Angst: She has the smallest bust of the team (at least until Tsubame comes along) and she's not happy about this at all. Especially because this makes the target of Uzura's affection, who has a fetish with flat-chested girls. Fortunately for her, her chest finally develops in the movie.
- Accent Adaptation: The English dub gave her a Southern accent as a substitute for her Kansai accent in the original Japanese.
- Demoted to Extra: She gets much less screentime than the rest of the main group in the movie. She only comes back to partake in the climax.
- Fake Boobs: She wants to have bigger breasts for Gold Digger reasons and consequently stuffs her bra to appear bustier than she really is.
- Fanservice Pack: She doesn't need to wear breast pads anymore in the movie since her chest grew a lot since the end of the anime.
- The Idiot from Osaka: Downplayed. She's actually quite smart, but exemplifies the stereotype of the loud and passionate comedy-relief character from Osaka otherwise.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She can be a greedy and self-centered person, with little brain-to-mouth filter, but she's also fair and honorable.
- Leitmotif: Osaka Musume
, a smooth jazzy theme that sounds every time she appears or plots a money scheme. - Money Fetish: Kamome often takes on numerous jobs to accumulate the money she needs, and sometimes she will resort to con people or show her panties in exchange for money. It's later revealed it's to buy back the house that her mother lost due to debts. By the time of the movie, she succesfully bought the house back, but still exorts money because she's used to it.
- New Transfer Student: She arrives at Akihabara from Osaka in Episode 7 and joins the same junior high as the rest of the Cyber Team.
- Parent with New Paramour: Her parents are divorced and her mother remarried. Kamome's stepfather is actually very kind to her in the only scene he appears, but she refuses to acknowledge him as her father. She pretends she does for her mother's sake, though.
- Prefers Proper Names: She calls her Diva Amphitrite when the other girls generally call them by their Pata-Pi names. She breaks this in the finale, calling it Billiken.
- Shameless Fanservice Girl: She's perfectly fine with letting men peep at her panties and ogle at her when she's wearing a swimsuit, so long as they pay her of course.
- Skewed Priorities: After a year, Crane has a change of heart and gives the girls their Pata-Pis back. What's Kamome's first reaction? Check if Billiken still has money inside (since she also used him as a piggy bank) and freak out upon realizing he's empty.
Tsubame Ohtorii
Voiced by: Megumi Hayashibara (JP), Hilary Haag (EN)
A mostly stoic girl with a very twisted view on friendship and no concept of family. Brought up by Cigogne as a special catalyst for the return of the Primum Mobile, she is isolated from society all this while. Hibari befriends her and will later either straighten or change those views. Her Pata-Pi is Petit-Ange, who is pink-colored and not very bright. It transforms into the Diva Erinyes.
- Artificial Human: She's one of the artificially created humans based on Crane that Christian and Cigogne created to use as tools in their plan to bring Crane back to Earth.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: She eventually stops being an enemy and joins the Cyber Team because Hibari and her parents are the first people who have cared about her and treated her kindly.
- Broken Bird: She acts cold and doesn't understand the concept of compassion because no one has ever treated her with love. Beneath that emotionless front, Tsubame is just a very lonely girl who craves to be loved.
- Clone Angst: Because she's a clone, the man who raised her never treated her like a daughter and barely acknowledged her as a human. She never knew the love and warmth of a family, causing her to be overwhelmed by Hibari's family readily welcoming her into their home.
- Creepy Child: She's an unnervingly stoic and quiet 13-year-old girl. She also has her Pata-Pi "play" with other Pata-Pis by brutalizing them, including normal Pata-Pis that don't turn into Divas.
- Dark and Troubled Past: She grew up isolated and deprived of any source of affection, which resulted in the Emotionless Girl she is in her first appearances.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Her main element is darkness, wears black clothes and while she starts out as an antagonist, she eventually does a Heel–Face Turn and joins the team and still kept her black attire.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: When she's introduced, Tsubame is a callous Emotionless Girl who ignores Hibari's attempts to befriend her and only cares to prove how powerful her Diva is compared to the Cyber Team. Once Hibari befriends her and they become adopted sisters, Tsubame becomes able to smile and show she cares about others.
- Emotionless Girl: She shows little to no emotion until near the end of the anime.
- Friendless Background: Growing up, the only constant company she ever had was her Pata-Pi, Petit-Ange, but she only considers Petit-Ange to be a tool. Hibari later becomes her First Friend.

- Heel–Face Turn: She's an underling of Rosenkreuz in her first appearances and uses her Diva to brutally attack the Cyber Team's Divas. In Episodes 20-21, Tsubame switches sides and officially joins the Cyber Team thanks to Hibari befriending her.
- Humanizing Tears: It's really moving to see Tsubame coming out of her Emotionless Girl shell by crying during the most emotional moments of the last episodes.
- I Just Want to Be Badass: Tsubame always believed she needed to be strong for the sake of not being cast aside by Cigogne. After becoming friends with Hibari, Tsubame wants to be strong for the sake of protecting others.
- I Just Want to Be Loved: When Hibari invites her to her house, Tsubame experiences a loving family environment for the first time. She then realizes what she always wanted was to have a home with people who care for her.
- Inconsistent Coloring: In the anime, her hair color can be depicted as very light pink, pink with white highlights, or white with pink shading depending on the scene. The movie changes her hair to light lavender. That's likely because the movie was animated by Production I.G instead of Ashi Productions.
- Knight of Cerebus: Tsubame's appearance as the fifth Anima Mundi with the black Diva that can give a Curb-Stomp Battle to all the other Divas marks the point the series takes a more serious tone.
- Lonely Rich Kid: Her childhood memories consist of nothing but being completely alone and neglected at Cigogne's castle in France.
- Loner-Turned-Friend: She starts out as a loner who has no interest in joining the Cyber Team and only wants to prove her Diva is the strongest. Towards the end of the anime, Hibari manages to befriend her and Tsubame officially joins the Cyber Team after she gets the other girls to trust her.
- Ms. Exposition: She provides exposition about Rosenkreuz's devices and weapons after joining the Cyber Team. She doesn't really know about the Divas, though.
- New Transfer Student: She joins Hibari's class as a transfer student in Episode 13.

- Opposite-Sex Clone: Like Takashi, Tsubame is a clone of Crane, expect she was made a girl for some reason.
- The Quiet One: She usually remains unsettlingly quiet.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The cool and reserved Blue Oni to Hibari's sentimental and bubbly Red Oni.
- Reformed, but Rejected: After she befriends Hibari, the rest of the girls are still skeptic of her sudden change of heart and tell her directly in her face not to manipulate Hibari anymore. It's after Hibari tearfully convinces them that Tsubame is a good person and after Tsubame herself saves them from an enemy's attack, that they finally accept her as part of the team.
- Rei Ayanami Expy: A pink-haired, pale-skinned young girl with an eerily stoic and quiet behavior who is actually a clone and eventually warms up thanks to the main character. Bonus points for both Rei and Tsubame being voiced by Megumi Hayashibara.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: Tsubame becomes Hibari's adopted sister at the end of the anime. While she shows a bit more emotion than before, Tsubame is still a very calm and reserved girl, in contrast to the loud and energetic Hibari.
- Sixth Ranger: She's the last to join the Cyber Team after a rough start with her being on the enemy side at first.
- The Social Darwinist: Cigogne taught her that only the strong can survive in this cruel world and the weak will be crushed.
- Sour Outside, Sad Inside: At first glance, Tsubame is aloof, mean, and ruthless. Later, it's revealed she acts the way she does because her guardian never showed her love and drilled into her head that she needed to become strong if she didn't want to disappear. When she sees what a loving and happy family Hibari has, Tsubame breaks down crying as she now sees how sad and lonely her life is.
- The Stoic: Her facial expression remains the same cold and distant gaze nearly all the time.
- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She's very cold, quiet, and unsociable, but she just doesn't know how to express herself because of the unloving environment she was raised in. The moment Hibari and her parents break through her shield by welcoming her into their home, Tsubame reveals herself as a sweet, caring, and considerate girl.
- Token Mini-Moe: She's the shortest and most flat-chested of the Cyber Team girls.
- Trademark Favorite Food: After having dinner with Hibari's family, hotcakes become Tsubame's favorite food.
- Tyke Bomb: Unlike the other Anima Mundi, Tsubame was brought by Cigogne as Rosenkreutz's enforcer to have her Diva attack those of the Cyber Team and further progress their awakening.
- What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: She's puzzled at the concept of love, which makes it shocking for her to see a loving family like Hibari's.
