!!Tropes associated with MasamiKurumada

** This is just Kurumada's way of [[{{Narcissist}} outwardly showing his love]] for his WesternZodiac, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_%28astrology%29 Sagittarius]]. To the point where, unless Kurumada somehow announces a PlayingAgainstType call, longtime fans would [[ReusedCharacterDesign downright assume]] all of his leading men would [[YouCantFightFate don the fate]] of being Sagittarius just by viewing [[http://saintseiya.wikia.com/wiki/Seiya Seiya's character profile alone]].

* ReusedCharacterDesign: If it is a Masami Kurumada work, you can bet that it will have several characters who are identical to characters from the same work, characters from prior works, and characters from future works. Just to use '''one''' example, the main characters of all his most famous series, Kojiro from ''Fuma No Kojiro'', Seiya from ''Saint Seiya'', Sho from ''Silent Knight Sho'',Teppei from ''B't X'', and Ryuji from ''Ring Ni Kakero'', all look basically identical. They all have the same hair-style, body type and attitude, to the point it makes you wonder if Kurumada seriously can't draw any other kind of protagonist.

* SignatureStyle: [[{{Pegasus}} Pegasuses]], [[TheArcher Arrows]], and all types of CoolHorse motifs. It's even the icon for [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bvRSQbCodQY/U4Zsb4sADxI/AAAAAAAAD9Y/iJOnmYsmkIQ/s1600/Kurumada+40th.png Kurumada's 40th Anniversary logo]].
