Do you have the JP DVD set with the beyond JP dvd??? Cuz if you do he talks about who they relate to for a short time on one of the thingys... And you might be able to find a more detailed list of who his characters are after on the net? ;D

I just have JP on VHS, not DVD. When I do buy the DVD, I'll be sure to get the set you are talking about. I'm just going to do a search on the 'net for now.
