Gamitty
According to Sagamihara's official website, the team mascot, Gamitty, is supposed to be an "ostrich", though clearly the word "Dacho" in Japanese must have been used very loosely. Though the concept of a bird that can run fast might be appealing, in terms of the team image, someone must have forgotten that ostriches are also supposed to have long necks. Oh well, perhaps the team didnt want to "stick its neck out" too far, considering how poorly received many recent mascots have been. Gamitty certainly has the sort of cute yet combative image that makes for a good mascot. Now if someone could just come up with some other explanation for what kind of bird this fella really is.
