Recurrent themes in his works are friendship, courage, redemption and sacrifice. Fans have created terms to refer to them such as Kurumada-ochi ( 車田落ち, Kurumada-ochi), meaning "Kurumada Fall", which designates the typical head-first falling characters, and Kurumada-futtobi ( 車田吹っ飛び, Kurumada-futtobi), meaning "Kurumada Launch", which refers to characters that are projected high into the air by opponents, to name a few. His coloring style is almost exclusively realistic, unlike the vast majority of manga artists, who often resort to the use of non-natural colors for the hair or eyes of their characters, although with the publication of Saint Seiya Next Dimension volumes totally in color, the addition of new characters with non-natural hair colors occurs often.Ĭertain graphics elements characteristic of his style can be found all over his works, mostly during fight sequences, having become widely known. His drawings can sometimes seem rough, but the improvement in his artistic technique is evident when comparing older works to more recent ones. He often draws his characters as if seen from a low perspective. His drawing style is very classic, reminiscent from the manga/anime aesthetics more predominant in the 1960s and 1970s, albeit a constant flaw in his art is an inconsistent trace and proportion unbalance. He agreed that his works Fūma no Kojirō, Saint Seiya, Ring ni Kakero and B't X were adapted to anime, to follow the long-time tradition of popular manga having an animated adaptation. It is also known that anime adaptations aren't much to his liking, he prefers manga. Clamp was heavily influenced by Kurumada's works, and they began their career as manga authors creating doujinshi based on Kurumada's characters. The main characters of his subsequent works have almost the same appearance and personality of Ryūji, specifically Jingi Kikukawa ( Otoko Zaka), Kojirō ( Fūma no Kojirō), Seiya ( Saint Seiya), Teppei Takamiya ( B't X), Shō ( Silent Knight Shō), Aoi Tendō ( Aoi Tori no Shinwa), Rindō Kenzaki ( Ring ni Kakero 2), among others.īesides Kurumada, other renowned manga artists that resort to the master Tezuka's technique include legendary authors Leiji Matsumoto, Monkey Punch and Shōtarō Ishinomori or Clamp. Because of this, the main characters of his works most of the time bear a resemblance to Takane Ryūji, the protagonist of Ring ni Kakero. A practicer of the martial arts in his younger days, the influence this has exerted on his various works is worthy of mention.Īlso, in the same manner as many manga artists today, Kurumada employs the revered Osamu Tezuka's Star System manga technique, which is essentially resorting to the use of a stable cast of characters in his various works (characters keep the same appearance and personality, but sometimes the author gives them new personalities and different roles than in previous works).
