In 1974, "Strong Girl Storm" was published in the "Shounen Jump" weekly magazine and began to temporarily emerge. From then on, he engaged in comic creation with "Shounen Jump" as the center. In "The Boxing Champion", he broke the style and concept of previous boxing comics and boldly used frame shifting and exciting actions, which formed the characteristics of his work and was enthusiastically welcomed by readers. Then, "Fuma Kojiro" depicts the battle between men fighting over the "Holy Sword", and "Osaka" depicts the life of a thug.
The release of "Saint Seiya" is a new starting point for his works. This comic has not only fascinated the whole of Japan, but also swept across mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other regions, occupying almost all bookstores and newsstands.

After the work was made into animation, it set off climaxes again and again at home and abroad. In the field of toys, the "Saint Cloth Series" has become a popular item for children's collection. In 1991, the musical starring Smeap earned him greater fame. Even after the serialization of "Saint Seiya" ended, readers' enthusiasm continued unabated, which is also rare in Japan. It wasn't until 1994 that Mr. Kurumada started serializing "B'TX" from the first issue of "Monthly Shōnen ACE", and this work was also adapted into a TV animation.

"Zodiac Chapter", "Poseidon Chapter" and "Underworld Chapter" all have extremely exciting scenes, and the characters of both the enemy and ourselves are also appropriately expressed. "Saint Seiya" is also the one with the most complete structure among Masami Kurumada's works.
