The 2010/2011 school year Oha Girl unit (later named Oha Girl Maple) was formed in April 2010, following the graduation of the 2008-2010 Oha Girl unit, for the show Oha Suta. The unit initially consisted of Saki (Ogawa Saki of S/mileage), Erika (Tanaka Erika) and Shiori (Inoue Shiori). As a tradition for every Oha Girl unit to have a challenge since 2001, the members of Oha Girl Maple were challenged to learn baton twirling. On September 10, 2010, it was announced that the 2010/2011 Oha Girl unit would be named Oha Girl Maple.
