Credits:    Me, JDeGuzman.  
            All the contributors to the Japanese Sites which is where most
            of this information first came from.  I thank all of you deeply.
            All the people who have posted and replied to my topics in the
            GameFAQs and Versus City Message Boards.  Your replies were all
            very useful.
            To vfighter8323 for replying to almost all my posts in the
            Versus City message board with helpful info.
            To HunterRose for scanning the VF items from his white book and
            to Yupa for re-uploading them.  These helped me figure out the
            number of items each character has.
                To strychnine for posting the US names for the items.  This
            helped me complete many item lists.
                To Neoarchaic who wrote the first item FAQ. I have used some of
            his translations from his FAQ for part of Lau's and Lion's item
            section.  I hope the info I have posted helps you complete your
            FAQ as well.  Everyone should also check out his item FAQ.
                Thanks to Myke for making my topics VFDC Choice topics.  I
            really hope my posts helped a lot of people.
                To vf4akira for translating the Dunce Items list at Sega's
            Japanese AM2 Site.  His FAQ on Curse Item Removal was extremely
            helpful.  It can be found at Versus City.
            To KMegura - THE FAQ author extraordinaire.  Your FAQS helped me
            model this one.  I really enjoyed your KOF FAQS!
            To Altavista and Cafeglobe for programming those wonderful
            and yet sometimes frustrating online translators. ;)
            To anyone whom I have forgotten, please forgive me.  Send me an
            e-mail or a PM at Versus City and I will make sure to include
            you to this list.
            Links to the preceding sites will be listed at the bottom of
            FAQ.

Note from the Author:   Well, I've owned this game for a month now and I
                        still can't get enough of it.  One of the extras
                        that I love about this game is the item hunting.
                        After spending hours and hours on the net, using
                        online translators on Japanese Sites in order to
                        find out more about items, scouring the Japanese
                        Bulletin Boards for info, confirming and verifying
                        each and every method listed, and even discovering
                        a few unexpected tricks, I have decided to compile
                        all my findings into this one huge FAQ.
                        I really hope that this info helps all you VF4
                        treasure hunters out there!
                        When I first wrote this FAQ I was hesitant to send
                        it in since it was my first FAQ, therefore I 
                        decided to just post messages on the message boards
                        at GameFAQs.
                        Then after discovering that other people were doing
                        the same thing I was doing already, I decided to
                        complete my CONFIRMED lists and post them elsewhere.
                        That being Versus City and VFDC.
                        After receiving a few PM's stating that I should
                        compile all my work together, I then decided to
                        finish the FAQ I started a while ago.  Remember, if
                        you can't find the info you're looking for here,
                        check out Neoarchaic's Item Guide at GameFAQs.

     Well, that's it for now.  I just want to let you all know that all this
effort I'm putting in is not without it's rewards.  I feel a good sense of
accomplishment when I read this FAQ.  Of course, I had a lot of help along
the way.  All you wonderful people at the GameFAQs and Versus City message
boards were all a big help in putting this together.  I will continue to 
update this FAQ once a week until every character's status reads:

                   100% OF ALL ITEMS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED
                      I always finish what I start.
