Career
Kazuma's approach relies on "selling works that appeal to markets that publishers alone cannot cover with the use of multimedia projects". This is the reason why various works under his supervision often become adapted into manga and anime series.

In Shakugan no Shana, the titular character Shana was originally planned to be 20 years of age and have an appearance similar to that of Margery Daw, another character in the series, and was eventually changed to the design popularly known in recent times.

The original concept in Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai that tackles the otaku culture as a theme in an everyday comedy series was based on ideas by Miki, which are then given Fushimi's own signature writing style. The story's heroine Kousaka Kirino was modeled by Miki after "a girl straight out of GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka)".
