History Creator / MohiroKitoh

His work frequently sits on [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism the far end of the cynical side of the scale]] (though there are exceptions) and frequently involves very disturbing material and [[MoodWhiplash abrupt changes in mood]]. [[AuthorAppeal Common themes]] include the [[HumansAreBastards cruelty of humans]] and the [[ChildrenAreInnocent innocence]] ([[BreakTheCutie or loss of]], [[SubvertedTrope or indeed lack thereof]]) of children. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking He is also really fond of mountain bikes and airplanes]]; in fact, one of his more recent series, ''Noririn'', [[MoodWhiplash is about bikes]], while another, ''Hayabusa-chan mo Tondemasu'', is about aviation.

* CoolPlane: Kitoh is very fond of aviation, and detailed depictions of aircraft often appear in his works. His latest manga, ''Hayabusa-chan mo Tondemasu'', is even about a girl who can ''into'' an airplane.

* * CutShort: His manga, their anime adaptations, and their translations all have an unfortunate tendency for this to happen to them. ''Manga/OwariToHajimariNoMiles'' is probably the worst offender, since not only was it discontinued but the magazine in which it ran was also cancelled.

* CoolPlane: Kitoh is very fond of aviation, and detailed depictions of aircraft often appear in his works.

* GratuitousForeignLanguage: ''Manga/{{Narutaru}}'' and has some Gratuitous Russian, and ''Sinna 1905'' is unusual in having a great deal of Gratuitous ''Ainu.''

* StrawNihilist: It's hard to tell whether he's one himself or not, but some of his characters definitely are.

** His short story series ''Hallucinations from the Womb'' is set in entire ''city'' that's one of these.

* {{Deconstructed Trope}}s: His works are [[GenreDeconstruction deconstructions]] of genres like {{Mon}}s (''Manga/{{Narutaru}}'') and SuperRobot (''Manga/{{Bokurano}}'').

** The oneshot ''Ekrano'' takes place in a world that's become covered by ocean and infested with alien life-forms called Kujirani.

* CreatorsOddball: At least two major ones. ''Noririn'', of course, for being a realistic, upbeat comedy manga about biking, and also ''Sinna 1905'' for being his only full-color/CGI work.

* AlternateHistory: ''Sinna 1905'' takes place in one, in which Japan is undergoing a civil war fought with HumongousMecha called "Tomikrots".

* ChildSoldiers: The pilots in Bokurano are all in their teens or younger. [[Deconstruction This is treated with all the seriousness it would be in real life.]]
