Creator Thumbprint: Difference between revisions

** Also there seems to be a tendency towards aircraft and anything in the air, and perhaps the military.

* Keiichi Sigsawa, author of ''[[Kino's Journey]]'' and ''[[Allison and Lillia]]'', goes out of his way to profile in entirely unnecessary detail every weapon and vehicle that comes up, regardless of whether it is important to the plot. And as if that weren't enough, even his ''pen name'' is based on [https://web.archive.org/web/20080205094632/http://www.sigsauer.com/Default.aspx a gun brand].

* [[Shirow Masamune|Masamune Shirow]] loves drawing sexy, scantily clad women, but that hardly sets him apart; what ''does'' is his [[Technology Porn|obsessive attention to detail regarding near-future/sci-fi weaponry and machines]]. The [[Other Wiki]] even has [[wikipedia:Seburo|a page about Seburo]], which is Shirow's ''recurring futuristic small arms manufacturer''.

* If you couldn't tell from the series itself, Hiroyuki Imaishi, the director of ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' said in an interview that he liked [[This Is a Drill|drills]] and wanted a show where they were the main character's weapon. This becomes either hilarious or creepy when you see his previous work, ''[[Dead Leaves]]'', where one guy has a giant drill (that's drawn just like the ones in TTGL because he's also the character designer for both) ''for a penis''.

* Most of the [[Viewers Are Geniuses|ridiculously hard to understand]] math and physics found around ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' (including an important in one of the later novels that is even ''illustrated'') stem from Nagaru Tanigawa (the author of the novels) being a math/physics buff.

** See ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]'' for something similar.

* Aside of uniforms and girls with hair decs, [[Hidekaz Himaruya]] loves bunnies.

* Shamelessly lampshaded by Ai Yazawa in her manga ''[[Gokinjo Monogatari]]'', about an arts high school populated by eccentric teens. "''In the Yazawa High School students have an unspoken agreement to dress in the most outrageous way possible. Why? Principal Ai Yazawa just loves outlandish clothes!''". Before becoming a mangaka, she wanted to be a fashion designer, and she's a hardcore fan of Vivienne Westwood. She also loves rock and punk music. It becomes glaringly obvious since ''all'' of her mangas feature [[Paradise Kiss|fashion designers]], [[Unlimited Wardrobe|massive amounts of different outfits]], designs lifted from Westwood, [[Nana|aspiring musicians and punk rockers]].

** She highlighted in her recent work [[Otoyomegatari]] that she is also fascinated by Central Asia costumes and setting. All her female and male characters have exquisitely detailed embroidered clothes.

* Isuna Hasekura, author of the ''[[Spice and Wolf]]'' novels, has a serious thing for economics. It features prominently in both of his works to date. In fact, he took the prize money he got for his first novel to the stock market and is currently writing a manga about day trading.
