Tropes associated with Raiku:
- Animalistic Abomination: Raiku showed a slight interest in drawing giant scary monsters in Zatch Bell, and went on to draw more in that series' Gaiden chapter and his horror one-shot "Class Room". This interest blossomed into fascination in Animal Land, which is chock full of huge creepy things.
- Art Evolution: The change between Zatch Bell and Animal Land is amazing.
- And then it goes straight back into the weird style used to have, in Vector Ball.
- Author Avatar: As shown above.
