In June 2009,IDOL AND READ 004, p65 Meme Nishimura (now Risa Aizawa) and Nemu Yumemi joined.{{citation needed|date=July 2019}}

Taking this opportunity, Fukushima considered changing Dempagumi's name to "renew it to a new feeling", and I will consult with Saeki. Saeki proposed "Chapé's Fountain"

でんぱブック, p33 but Fukushima wanted to keep the Dempagumi name and said "If it has an extension (a la MOSAIC.WAV, LOVE.EXE, etc.), it may be good for Akiba[hara]." So was proposed that ".inc" would be added, renaming it "Dempagumi.inc".

Various accounts vary about the reason "inc" was selected. The meaning of "Dempagumi's evolutionary system" was once considered.{{Cite web|date=2012-08-21|url=http://www.pilotfree.com/guest/denpagumi/|title=でんぱ組.inc|work=Web Magazine "PILOT"|publisher=パイロットパブリッシング|language=ja|access-date=2015-08-24|archive-date=2021-04-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210416041920/https://www.pilotfree.com/guest/denpagumi/|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|date=2013-10-21|page=6|url=https://style.nikkei.com/article/DGXNASFK3001B_Q3A930C1000000?page=6|title=きゃりーにボンバーにサカナ...人気50組「名前の由来」（エンタウォッチング）|work=NIKKEI STYLE（日経エンタテインメント!）|publisher=日本経済新聞社|language=ja|access-date=2015-08-24|archive-date=2017-02-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170206143022/http://style.nikkei.com/article/DGXNASFK3001B_Q3A930C1000000?page=6|url-status=live}} According to Saeki, it is absolutely necessary to avoid unit names ending in "gumi" because they will be a follow-up to the aforementioned Ushiroyubi Sasaregumi. Another reason is that "it would be interesting "inc" was added to the end of a company [name]".

In addition, according to Yumemi, "The interpretation that Aizawa and Yumemi joined 'Dempagumi' and renamed it Dempagumi.inc is a little different." It is also said that it was four people of Furukawa, Owada, Aizawa, and Yumemu who happened to have passed, and it is said that it was something which was collected regardless of the original "Dempagumi". Although the original name is "でんぱ組.inc", the debut single released by Lantis mistakenly named them as "でんぱ組inc."{{Cite web |date=2018-12-20 |url=https://miyearnzzlabo.com/archives/54101 |title=吉田豪ともふくちゃん でんぱ組.inc『Kiss＋kissでおわらない』を語る |website=miyearnZZ Labo |access-date=2018-12-22 |archive-date=2018-12-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181224220103/https://miyearnzzlabo.com/archives/54101 |url-status=live }}
