Many say that he draws the most beautiful girls in any cartoons anywhere. He is also a huge fan of Batman , something which has influenced his work, most clearly seen in '' Shadow Lady ''. In fact the manga which he created, Zetman could be seen as a take-off of Batman. Also in Video Girl Ai the two main characters, Yota and Ai, go to see a movie called Batman which shows the famous scene of the thug at the beginning of the movie ask "Who are you?" and Batman (actually holding a baseball bat) replies "I'm Bat-Man". This is in homage to the 1989 Tim Burton film. '' Video Girl Ai '' was made into a six episode OVA , starting with the first volume. This has been released in North America. A live-action movie was also made of the story. The main action of the five-volume series '' DNA&2 '' was made into an Anime television show that did not sell well enough to finish, so the story was concluded with a short OVA, which was also released in North American. '' I"s '' was made into at least two Anime OVA s: one two-episode side story, and one six-episode summary of the manga. WORKS
