We report on the time-resolved CCD photometry of a newly discovered variable star, TSS J022216.4+412259.9 during the outburst in 2005 November-December brightening. The obtained light curves unambiguously showed 0.2-0.3 mag modulations, which we confirmed to be the superhump observed among SU UMa-type dwarf novae. We also performed a period search for the data obtained during the outburst plateau phase, and revealed the existence of the two periodicities: 0.054868(98) days for the first two nights and 0.055544(26) days for the following plateau phase. This bi-periodicity is hardly observed in usual SU UMa-type dwarf novae, but characteristic of WZ Sge-type stars. We undoubtedly detected a rebrightening in the post-outburst stage, which is typical of short-period SU UMa-type dwarf novae including WZ Sge-type stars. These observations suggests that TSS J022216.4+412259.9 may be a new WZ Sge stars breaking the shortest superhump period of 0.05648 days for V592 Her among this class with a known superhump period so far.
