* AuthorAppeal: White haired {{Bishonen}}, racing cars (her favorite is a Ferrari 512M), figure skating, and modern fashion, namely. ''Manga/SailorMoon'' was inspired by Series/WonderWoman, which gives the inspiration of most of the senshi having {{combat stiletto}}s.

* IWasJustJoking: When she came to her boss one day in 1990's and said that she would like to draw a manga about a female superhero, the editor remarked: "Right. A female superhero. Maybe a schoolgirl at that, who is a crybaby, and yet saves the day?" And thus, ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'', and by extension, ''Manga/SailorMoon'', was born.

Kill Em All was renamed Everybody Dies Ending due to misuse. Dewicking

* GodNeverSaidThat: There has been a viral post in social media regarding Naoko Takeuchi saying "I was in a low place, so I write about girls I wish were my friends." This quote is false, fabricated to pretend the author is some sort of underdog that didn't have any friends. Naoko Takeuchi is known for being quite reclusive, and one of the very few interviews she gave stated that she created ''Manga/SailorMoon'' based on how she and her friends don't need to rely on men all the time.
--> '''Naoko Takeuchi''': “I was a regular college student and got a regular job and then started drawing. So I have quite a few normal students and OL [office lady] friends....My friends and I would have chats about relationships or work and we'd always conclude that we shouldn't depend on men. I think that women are actually stronger, and I wanted to draw that in Sailor Moon.”

Unecessary entry. That is a very random and far-stretching comparison, and it was a wall text on top of it.

Sailor Moon has its own page.


* DisownedAdaptation: The Sailor Moon Anime gradually became this for her due to all the changes made from the Manga, with the final season "Sailor Stars" being the final straw as she was said to not be happy with the major changes made from the Manga, (in particular the Star Scouts being men who can transform into women). This allegedly played a major role in preventing an English dub of "Stars" for the longest time.

* CreatorBreakdown: [[invoked]] Sadly, Takeuchi recounts in ''Punch'' that she was burned out after completing the last chapter for Sailor Moon. As she put it, she was working on artbooks, script consultations for the anime, drawing and merchandise approval. Then on her vacation, she was working on a new manga at the behest of her editors. The final straw came when Kodansha lost several pages of ''PQ Angels'' and kept passing the buck; Naoko quit and didn't finish the series.



* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: This was what killed ''PQ Angels''. She had submitted the original drawings to Kodansha, who proceed to lose enough pages that were a chapter's worth. No one could find them, and the editors and executives played the BlameGame.

* ExecutiveMeddling: A victim of it in her early years, though in many cases not to her detriment. Had it not been for executive meddling asking her to add more characters to the cast, ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'' would have never become ''Sailor Moon''. Likewise Sailor Moon's [[PrimaryColorChampion iconic costume]] was the result of an editor telling her that her original mostly white costume would look bad on magazine covers.

* DisownedAdaptation: The Sailor Moon Anime gradually became this for her due to all the changes made from the Manga, with the final season "Sailor Stars" being the final straw as she was said to not be happy with the major changes made from the Manga, (in particular the Star Scouts being men who can transform into women).
