Summary:
In this paper, first we introduce a new notion of commuting condition that $\phi \phi _{1} A = A \phi _{1} \phi $ between the shape operator $A$ and the structure tensors $\phi $ and $\phi _{1}$ for real hypersurfaces in $G_2({\mathbb C}^{m+2})$. Suprisingly, real hypersurfaces of type $(A)$, that is, a tube over a totally geodesic $G_{2}(\mathbb C^{m+1})$ in complex two plane Grassmannians $G_2({\mathbb C}^{m+2})$ satisfy this commuting condition. Next we consider a complete classification of Hopf hypersurfaces in $G_2({\mathbb C}^{m+2})$ satisfying the commuting condition. Finally we get a characterization of Type $(A)$ in terms of such commuting condition $\phi \phi _{1} A = A \phi _{1} \phi $.
