===Art Style===
In the earlier volumes of the manga the most apparent part of his artstyle is the use of real world locations for backgrounds, and then filtered for use in the manga. This later disappeared by volume 5 of the manga, where both the background and character art has been greatly improved.
Many parts of the anime adaptation of Toaru Majutsu no Index were taken from his illustrations of scenes in the manga, and later, after the anime has overtaken the manga, Chuuya took parts from the anime to enhance the manga's scenes.
