I'm reposting the NPC FAQs here since they are also characters in the game and are worth reading.
Q: who are the people who got to Isigi, are they MIBs or Vamps?
A: They are the same people who killed Hori (the male nurse); the Interpol agents (it's unknown if they're real agents or not). These agents seem to be following the orders of a man only known as Heindric.
Q: There are 4 people in the Hiroshima gantz team and they sound pretty experienced. Besides Yamamoto have they all got 100 points or more?
A: The 4 people; Yamamoto, Kimi, 'Papa' and Chow are the surviving members of the Hiroshima group from an external attack by the vampire clan in their city. To be able to survive a full scale attack, they have to be atleast veterans in what they do. Yamamoto has gotten more than 200 points, 'Papa' has more than 100, Chow has 200 plus points. Kimi, who is the youngest, is the the longest surviving member of the Hiroshima team. She has completed gantz 6 times which is why she has the access of a power suit.
Update: It has been revealed that both Papa and Chow were killed in the assault on the Club Dark Water. (see below)
Q: Who are Junji and Ito?
A: They're both Vampires in charge of the Tokyo vampire clan. Nothing has been revealed about Junji except that he is the leader of the vamps and has lots of connections. Ito is Junji's loyal right hand man. Thought Ito has revealed himself to the gantzers, specifically Tomoe Shimada, nothing else is known about him and is said to have special powers (GM: What power he posesses hasn't been revealed but i'm giving this as a hint) Trivia: The name Junji Ito belongs to horror manga writer.
Q: What does all that German text say in the first part of the off mission thread?
A: That text is actually a phone conversation between the man known as Heindric and the vampire Junji. Heindric appears to be some sort of mercenary for hire and is well aware of what goes on around the world.

Since most online translator are doing crap translations, here it is in english:
Quote:
"Hello, I was expecting your call, Junji ..."
"Of course I know what is happening in Japan. It is my job, after all."
"I assume that's why you are calling me, because of what is happening there, is not it?"
"Oh, by the way, I'm raising my fees by a quarter of a million. After the incident in the factory, ... You know that it is worth every dollar."
"I already have a team already. I'm just about to board a plane. Do you have a lead for us? A Name? Well .... email me the details."
"I will see you soon ..."

Q: What really happened in club Dark Water?
A: While initial reports from the vamps are at most sketchy, the screnario of the assualt happens like this: A team of vamps who were on guard after the appearance of Tomoe were ambushed by the Hunters. Security tapes show that there were 3 assailants and 1 ape like robot who disposed of the group very quickly. This prompts the vamps in the building be prepared for the assualt, weapons ready. Unfortunately they were blinded by a smokescreen.
The attackers continued their assault in the club taking out as many as 15 vamps before they could organize themselves. When the smoke screen finally dies off, the vamps regroup again to attack but is stopped by the ape like robot (whom appears to move faster and hit stronger than the normal hunters). The appearance of this new hunter prompts Junji to enter the fray with Ito.
Junji instructs Ito to back him up by taking on the normal hunters together with the remaining hunters. Ito uses his (?) powers on them. The hunters are thrown back (literally) by the vamps counter attack only the ape like robot is uneffected and continues to fight on. Eventually one of them succumbs to the attack. A hunter sensing that their new found morale boost might be dangerous goes in to take on the vamp leader, Junji. Junji reacts fast (very fast) and stabs the hunter in the eye instantly killing the man.
Junji then sets his eyes on the robot and engages it in melee combat. Both sides seemed evenly matched or so everyone thought when Junji manages to slice an arm of the ape like robot. The robot falls quick but before Junji can take the finishing move. The last hunter interrupts using a AOE weapon which weakens the clubs foundation and eventually causes the front half of the club to collapse. As the club falls apart, the hunters use this to escape by releasing another smokescreen.
End body count: 2 hunters dead, 30-40 vamp dead.
Q: Who are Inspector Hosuke and Assistant Inspector Hoici?
A: Both are members of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Force. They were both assigned to apprehend Dr. Wakahisa who tried to escape a psychiatric ward he was detained for murder. While attempting to capture the doctor at the facility, the tactical team botched their assault which ended in an explosion that not only destroyed the ward but killing the murderer too (refer to
Wakahisa, "Dr. Akuma" Dr. Yoshi character sheet for more details). Having not found proof of the doctor's death, Inspector Hosuke and Assistant Inspector Hoici both suspect that the serial killer may have somehow escape the explosion, presumably still at large. Due to the collateral damage done to the ward, the Inspector was forced to close the case which prompted the inspector and his assistant to work on it in quietly. Inspector Hosuke is aged 48 while Hoici is 31.
