!!This creator provides examples of the following tropes:
* AnimateInanimateObject: One interpretation many apply to his sculptures is that it follows the Shinto idea that everything (like wood and rock) possesses a spirit that can manifest (this being the origin for a lot of {{Youkai}}), the humanoid sculptures simply being a representation of this idea.
* OneTrackMindedArtist: While there certainly is a variety to his body of work, most of his sculptures and paintings are comprised of embryo-like humanoids with matching, malformed faces.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He cites "coffee" to be one of the most indispensable things in his studio.
* WriteWhatYouKnow: In a 2017 interview with auction house Christie's, Kato stated that his influence draws from "everything I come in contact with while living." Instead of pointing to a single source, he credits life and all its experiences as a whole as his muse.
