Qu’il s’agisse d’avions, de dirigeables ou de formes inventées, ceux-ci apparaissent en effet quasi- systématiquement dans les œuvres du réalisateur, voire tiennent dans certains cas un rôle central. Plus encore, cette récurrence s’observe non seulement dans la douzaine de longs-métrages que celui-ci a dirigé, mais également dans l’ensemble de sa production, totalisant environ 80 titres incluant mangas, courts-métrages, participation à des anime2 (films ou séries) à d’autres postes que réalisateur, ou encore travail d’animation au début de sa carrière.
