Also, in the same manner as many manga artists today, Kurumada employs the revered Osamu Tezuka's Star System manga technique, which is essentially resorting to the use of a stable cast of characters in his various works ( characters keep the same appearance and personality, but sometimes the author gives them new personalities and different roles than in previous works ).
