Interaction With Fans
Ikuhara has attended several conventions and similar events, given interviews to fans and reporters, and, along with Chiho Saito, provided commentary tracks for the DVD releases of Utena. He often dresses in brightly-colored clothes when socializing with fans. He has cosplayed as Sailor Mars on a few occasions.
When questioned about his work by fans, particularly about the more mystifying aspects of Utena, he tends to give humorous, odd, or evasive responses (for instance, asked about the significance of the stopwatch carried by the character Miki, he said that it contains the key to "all the mysteries of the world.") The implication is that he wishes to leave interpretation of his works open to the audience.
