* MightyWhitey: Is annoyed when characters are dismissed as this like Iron Fist, Street Fighter's Ken, or his creation, Snake Eyes. His belief is that characters can suffer prejudice in another culture even if they're white and embrace elements of someone else's culture. Indeed, he says it is because of their struggles that Snake Eyes and Ken are better than Storm Shadow and Ryu respectively.

** Larry Hama commented on the fact that being the primary writer (some would say creator) behind GI Joe as a concept led to many comic book fans dismissing him versus the big superhero comics.
** Was almost fired from Marvel comic for the fact that he was viewed as forwarding an "Asian revolt." Larry Hama said that the other Asian writers and employees just liked hanging around his desk.
** He wasn't considered for writing the cartoon of GI Joe despite creating a not-insubstantial number of their characters.
*EvilVersusEvilEvenEvilHasStandards: Destro, Zartan, and Storm Shadow are some of his most famous characters and defined by their NobleDemon qualities.
* EvilVersusEvil: The villains of his books are often engaged in plotting and ChronicBackstabbingDisorder.

** The main character of his lesser-known series ''Mort the Dead Teenager'' has the name of Mort Graves. Funnily enough, the rest of his family doesn't share a naming theme.
