Here's a couple old website pages with staff names on them that might be helpful: [1] [2] CRV (talk) 16:23, 28 November 2012 (CST)

Thanks. First link (converted with ENAMDIC; may need double-checking):

This page has one name from the second link that isn't in the first:

• 今多＿智仙 - ? Imata - "executive vice president"? (取締役副社長) (the first name isn't in JDIC at all) - Toshinori Imata

For the second link (which I'll do tomorrow) image alt text in the first link holds the short names - Andlabs (talk) 23:40, 28 November 2012 (CST)

Turns out some of the home pages have their names (most seem to be completely unrelated to the company? though again archive.org isn't working right anymore)

• mat - president
• yumi - programmer
• koba - director - Jun Kobayashi (小林　純)
• kikka - CG designer - ?
• yuko - CG designer - ?
• imata - producer
• fujii - producer - ?
• hashiya - planner - ?
• yamamoto - planner - Kouji Yamamoto (ヤマモトコウジ(23))
• harry - programmer - ?
  • a later version says Yoshikazu Hosoda (細田祥一)
• tact - programmer
• konno - programmer
• piyan - CG designer

Hypotheses

most of these match specifically with Chocobo's Dungeon, Puyo Puyo 7, and/or Bomberman Online

• Blinx (need to check but comes up a few times)
• Soul of the Samurai (need to check but comes up a few times)
• Beavis and Butt-Head: Virtual Aho Shoukougun (found looking through all archive.org hand.co.jp files; seems to be part of a site on publisher B-Factory that was on h.a.n.d.'s site for some reason but the archive.org servers keep failing)

more from andlabs:

• http://www.mobygames.com/game/ps2/ka-2-lets-go-hawaii/credits sakamoto and yano
• http://www.mobygames.com/game/universal-studios-theme-parks-adventure yano; both games are claimed to have been developed by Zoom; did these two people come from there or did Zoom subcontract graphics work to h.a.n.d.?

Maruyama turns up on Universal and Mister Mosquito. I suspect people from Zoom joined h.a.n.d. Both companies are in Sapporo. CRV (talk) 13:17, 10 March 2013 (CET)

3DO

h.a.n.d. published Virtual Puppet Reika, but it was developed by Kuki. Not sure if they're counting that. CRV (talk) 07:41, 3 December 2012 (CST)
