Hi all,
Here is a spectral result of the new variable discovered by Itagaki.
The spectum shows it to be a dwarf nova in outburst. The spectrum is

I have submitted the report below to the CBAT.

NEW VARIABLE STAR IN AQUARIUS
K. Kinugasa, H.Takahashi, S. Honda, H. Taguchi, and O. Hashimoto,
Gunma Astronomical Observatory (GAO); and H. Yamaoka, Kyushu University,
write that a low-resolution spectrogram (420-800 nm, resolution about 500)
of the new variable discovered by Itagaki was obtained on Jan.13.4 UT with
the GAO 1.5-m reflector (+GLOWS). The spectrum shows a smooth blue
continuum with prominent H-beta and H-gamma absorption lines.
While, the H-alpha is a shallow absorption, which seem to be filled
by the emission core. These characteristics suggest that it is a
dwarf nova in outburst.
