Back
at the end of September/beginning of October, while walking on
High Street, we had this bright idea dawn on us, as Halloween
was approaching: That we should get everybody at OSU(Ohio State
University) Manga Club to dress up like yakuzas(Japanese
mobsters). We all laughed about it at first, but after a while,
the idea kinda stuck to us. And although not everybody ended up
dressing up as yakuzas, four of us did, and looked good doing
it. That was the origin of the Vatos Dreame project.

Val
Urbaniak, Dan Wilkens, Frank Williams, and myself were the ones
who remained with the idea, and basically dubbed ourselves the 'OSU
Manga Club yakuzas'. The "plot" for the project was later
pitched in that night, to feature those four characters as
wondering 'for-hire' yakuzas, with no memories at all of their
past. And from there, it developed into what it is now, a
projected multimedia saga, that spans ten years of the
character's lives.
