Quotes
If
Uchu senkan Yamato (1974)
was my elementary or junior high, then
Ginga Tetsudo 999 (1978)
was my high school and
Uchu kaizoku kyaputen Harokku (1978)
and
Shin Taketori Monogatari: 1000-nen Joou (1981)
were my university studies.
Trademarks
He has a deep fascination with the number 9 and uses it in his works, believing it represents the last stop before a major shift in mathematics/time/space/the ages of man.
