>*cooks up conspiracy theory about Natsuki being Gryphon's secret
>illegitimate daughter*

Hardly. If she's related to Sumire at all, the relationship is a distant one. Natsuki's mother is the great Akari Kanzaki, who won galactic championships and Olympic medals in about a hundred different sports over the course of a stunning 35-year athletic career before retiring to take up broadcasting. Akari was Gryphon's pick for the first (and so far only) president of the sports division of Avalon Broadcasting. That her daughter competes for the Earth Alliance is thus a bit of a story in itself, and, as you might guess, not an entirely happy one, but it's a story for another time.

... I suppose nothing in what I've just said really rules out the possibility that Natsuki is Gryphon's secret illegitimate daughter, but...

As for the other girl, Dave tells me she's a Klingon version of another Battle Athletes character, but as I've not actually seen that show, I couldn't tell you much more than that.
