We present a list of galaxy-scale lens candidates including a highly probable interacting galaxy-scale lens in the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) imaging survey. We combine HSC imaging with the blended-spectra catalog from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey to identify lens candidates, and use lens mass modeling to confirm the candidates. There are 45 matches between the HSC S14A_0b imaging data release and the GAMA catalog. We separate lens and lensed arcs using color information, and exclude those candidates with small image separations (<1.''0, estimated with the lens/source redshifts from the GAMA survey) that are not easily resolved with ground-based imaging. After excluding these, we find 10 probable lens systems. There is one system with an interacting galaxy pair, HSC J084928+000949, that has a valid mass model. We predict the total mass enclosed by the Einstein radius of ∼0.''72 (∼1.65 kpc) for this new expected lens system to be ∼10^10.59 M_☉. Using the photometry in the grizy bands of the HSC survey and stellar population synthesis modeling with a Salpeter stellar initial mass function, we estimate the stellar mass within the Einstein radius to be ∼10^10.46 M_☉. We thus find a dark matter mass fraction within the Einstein radius of ∼25 % . Further spectroscopy or high-resolution imaging would allow confirmation of the nature of these lens candidates. The particular system with the interacting galaxy pair, if confirmed, would provide an opportunity to study the interplay between dark matter and stars as galaxies build up through hierarchical mergers.
