It took all day, and although the full story of the battle with the Japanese vampire is not in one place, I think I've pieced together a fairly comprehensive story.
An attorney named Jonathan Harker had gone to Japan to finalize a real estate deal with a Japanese warlord. Van Helsing mentored one of the early pioneers of mental health by the name of John Seward. Seward and Harker were mutual friends of a woman named Lucy Westerna. Lucy had been taken ill. Van Helsing concluded that it was the work of a vampire.
A mysterious Japanese samurai immigrant from Japan appeared. Van Helsing wrote, "a stake through the heart won't kill these type of vampires, rather, the stomach must be slit, and then the body beheaded." I couldn't find any other references to "these types of vampires," but I assume that there are differen types and different ways of destruction - not just the one few same way they show in movies.
Look at me, thinking vampires are real. What's scary is that after reading these things, and witnessing what I did at that party, I am starting to believe the existence of these creatures.
Van Helsing also described the Japanese samurai. Said his name was Jubei Yagyu. Hey, wait, wasn't that the famous samurai who disappeared back in the early-mid 1600's? (In real life, Jubei died in his in his own village when he was 43 years old). He described this samurai being tall, thin, with a forlorn lockof hair. Why does this description sound so familiar?
