J.N.V.D.O.

The Japanese National Vampire Defense Organization, alternatively titled J.N.V.D.O., is Japan's foremost supernatural fighting government organization. It was home to STRENGTH before participating in an exchange program as a way to solidify the bonds between themselves and V.W.A.T. Their symbol is represented by a clenched fist.

Overview
Little is known of the J.N.V.D.O.'s practices or efficiency, though they seem somewhat dishonest and mistrustful. For example, a recruiter purposefully wandered a hospital for suitable human candidates to use in their STRENGTH program, forcing the girl's parents to choose between her life and allowing her to become a human weapon. Yuu's inner thoughts also indicate their reason for participating in the exchange was to spy on the American government. Also, their treatment of their operatives seems to be harsh if Yuu is the standard, as she is looked at as more of a resource than an actual person by the majority of people in the group.

History
The first mention of the J.N.V.D.O. comes from STRENGTH's backstory, where a recruiter happened to be at the hospital she was taken to after a car accident. With greater resources than a normal medical facility, they offered her parents the chance to save her life, but in return, she would be given up to their organization. They chose to save her, and she has lived there for most of her life since.

For a long period of time, STRENGTH was the J.N.V.D.O.'s main means of fighting against vampire and other supernatural threats. However, she was given to the American organization V.W.A.T. as a show of good faith in exchange for one of their operatives. This was, however, a plot on their end to have her collect secrets from the government while there, as well as give them a chance to work on new operatives without the risk of disturbing her and causing problems.
