Here's the whole paragraph about Dorrio and Takei. Someone with a better grip of Japanese can probably translate it better.

本来、隊長にはロマーニャのフェデリカ・Ｎ・ドッリオ少佐が就任していた
が、負傷により戦闘隊長であった扶桑海軍の竹井醇子大尉が指揮をとって
いる。竹井大尉は、この部隊に配属される前に、第501統合戦闘航空団にて
研修を受け、統合戦闘航空団の指揮に関してレクチャー受けている。他にも
扶桑からは、陸軍の中島、諏訪両少尉が配属された。

It seems like Dorrio was the leader of the 504th, but since she got injured, Takei took over.

The unit commander from the beginning was Major Federika N Dorio. Because of injury in battle, Fuso Captain Takei Junko assumed command. Before being assigned to this the unit, Captain Takei was training in the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, including getting lectures on command. Also assigned from Fuso are Army 2nd Lieutenants Nakajima and Suwa.
