* '''God Arm''' (ゴッド・アーム, 1976-1977 -- ''Shōnen Sunday''): Probably Kajiwara's most unusual work, a collaboration with artist Jiro Kuwata (of ''Anime/EighthMan'' fame) done to capitalize on [[{{Toku}} Tokusatsu]]’s enduring fame. It’s about a karateka revived by an [[StupidJetpackHitler evil neonazi organization]] and turned an incredibly strong superhuman that saves the world against mechanical contraptions, beasts, robots, aliens and {{Kaiju}} made of monuments. It was planned to be Kajiwara’s next big hit after ''Karate Baka Ichidai''[='=]s temporary slump, but it never made it anywhere.

* CreatorsOddball: ''God Arm'' may keep the author's focus on karate, but his [[{{Toku}} Tokusatsu]]-themed superhero antics make it an unusual work among his sports ''manga''. It helps that the artist, Jiro Kuwata of ''Anime/EighthMan'' fame, tends to do sci-fi works much more than Kajiwara does.

* ArtisticLicenseMartialArts: When not exaggerating and outright inventing the life of many martial artists and professional wrestlers, Kajiwara was frequently guilty of portraying martial arts incorrectly, such as ''Karate Baka Ichidai'''s infamous UsefulNotes/{{Capoeira}} (which was supposedly a fighting style fought mostly in handstand position), claiming that that Creator/BruceLee was a Kyokushin Karate student, or that kickboxer Benny Urquidez's martial art was a military American fighting style named "[[ShapedLikeItself Martial Arts]]".

* DiedDuringProduction: His last work, the autobiography ''Otoko no Seiza'', was forcibly stopped after his death. It helps that in 1983, four years before his death, he was diagnosed with necrotizing pancreatitis after decades of alcohol abuse - to all accounts, he lived longer than it was predicted.
* ForeignRemake: ''Kyojin no Hoshi'' had a [[UsefulNotes/{{Cricket}} cricket]]-themed foreign remake, a [[IndianMedia Indian]]-Japanese cartoon coproduction named "''[[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suraj:_The_Rising_Star Suraj: The Rising Star]]''", released more than 40 years after the original series.
* {{Nepotism}}: [[invoked]] Kajiwara heavily pushed his own brother Hisao Maki into fame, from trying to make him an important figure in the Kyokushin organization (and indirectly in ''Karate Baka Ichidai''), co-creating ''manga'', and even starring on some of Kajiwara's films. To be fair, Maki had a minor hit of his own with ''Waru'' (drawn by the same artist of the first half of ''Karate Baka Ichidai'', who later had an unpleasant falling out with the brothers), but most of his stuff is derivative of Kajiwara's mid to low-tier work, and after his brother's death he was responsible for churning out Kajiwara tributes and BMovie / ''manga'' [[{{Sequelitis}} sequels]] of questionable quality to [[CoattailRidingRelative some of his most known works]].
* OddFriendship: He was drinking buddies with the "King of Gag ''Manga''" Creator/FujioAkatsuka, who worked on the polar opposite genre of Kajiwara's dour, incredibly serious drama, and outright admitted to Akatsuka that he admired his work on the gag genre since [[CannotTellAJoke he had no talent to do it]]. The two would appear as [[CelebrityVoiceActor cameo voice actors]] in ''Anime/TheMysteryOfMamo''.
* OnlyBarelyRenewed:[[invoked]] ''Samurai Giants'', ''Kyojin no Hoshi'''s SpiritualSuccessor, was almost cancelled from Magazine/ShonenJump - thanks to the anime adaptation made two years later, it managed to survive for another year.
* ProductionPosse: ''Judo Icchokusen'''s TV adaptation (made by Creator/ToeiCompany) was responsible for the creation of a studio within Toei after disputes with union-affilated workers, the ''Toei Ikuta Studio''. This studio would be later responsible for almost every major [[{{Toku}} Tokusatsu]]-related work during the seventies, like the first five ''Franchise/KamenRider'' shows or Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger / Series/JAKQDengekitai.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Ikki Kajiwara planned to create his own wrestling promotion in the late 70s-early 80s, “Dai Nihon Puroesu”, with sumo wrestlers Takamiyama Daigorō and a pre-fame Chiyonofuji as the main stars, among other [[Wrestling/AllJapanProWrestling AJPW]] / [[Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling NJPW]] talent. It didn’t work out for stakeholder-related issues. He, however, managed to work briefly as a promoter / booker of martial arts and ProfessionalWrestling matches.
** ''Otoko no Seiza'' was meant to be Kajiwara's last ''manga'' work, since he wanted to focus on his lifelong dream of being a successful novelist. Needless to say, it would become his last work in any medium.
** Creator/ToeiCompany almost produced a ''Kyojin no Hoshi'' ''anime'' after various TV channels failed to reach a licensing agreement, but finally media conglomerate Yomiuri Shimbun (owners of the ''Yomiuri Giants'', the series' starring team) decided to fund it. However, instead of the ''Giants'', it would have starred the Toei-sponsored ''[[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokkaido_Nippon-Ham_Fighters Toei Flyers]]'', itself one of the minor opposing teams in the series.
