Keio Flying Squadron 2 (慶応遊撃隊 活劇編) is a 1996 action platformer by Victor Entertainment for the Sega Saturn. It is the second game in Victor's Keio trilogy.

An excellent but little known series, the Keio Flying Squadron games span multiple genres and represented Victor's most ambitious push to establish an enduring franchise. Unfortunately, the first two of these titles—Keio Flying Squadron and Keio Flying Squadron 2—were exclusives on failed consoles. While the third did appear on the wildly successful Playstation, it was little more than a digital board game and never saw an international release. It's a shame as these are all fantastics works, brimming with personality and over-the-top Japanese madness. If only more people had had the chance to experience them, maybe we'd still be playing Keio games today.

FUN FACT: Rami, the game's protaganist, dresses in a bunny girl outfit reminiscent of the one worn by the heroine in Daicon IV's opening animation. The short film, a wacky celebration of otaku culture, was produced by Daicon Film for the 1983 Nihon SF Taikai convention. Daicon Film would later go on to form the animation studio Gainax.
