!!This author's work includes examples of:

* ActionSurvivor
* AfterTheEnd: ''Vampire Hunter D'' and ''A Wind Named Amnesia''.
* AuthorAppeal: Let's say Kikuchi and Yoshiaki Kawajiri are guilty of a big part of the pervasiveness of AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles today.
* BodyHorror: Plenty of it.
* CosmicHorrorStory: Tilting towards LovecraftLite, but sometimes hitting it pretty hard.
* LovecraftianSuperpower: Sometimes of demonic nature and often used by heroic characters as much as villains and monsters.
* TheVamp: Sexual-themed horror is present in many of his stories, especially ''Black Guard''.
