Watanabe is noted for blending together multiple genres, such as in Cowboy Bebop, where classic cowboy western mixes with 1940s/1950s New York City film noir, Hong Kong action movies, and jazz, among other influences. In Samurai Champloo Watanabe mixes Okinawa, Hip-Hop, modern-day Japan, and samurai.
