In one of the 'Days with the draft' pages by Yumi Hotta (No 7, not in the scantilations), she talks about the draft images of the characters that she sent to Takeshi Obata and how he would either remain very faithful to her idea or totally transform them. Thus, Ichikawa was originally a grandmotherly type in Hotta's sketch but Obata rejuvenated her; Kaneko remained virtually unchanged and Kubawara also - although Hotta says she regretted this as her draft made Kubawara look like a 'some strange kind of ape' and Obata kept him just the same.
