Trivia
- Ohrai's artwork for Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II is notable in that it shows a depiction of Transforming Mechagodzilla, the predecessor to the Heisei Mechagodzilla, as well as Shinji Nishikawa's unused female Rodan design. This artwork is one of the few instances in Toho's productions where an unused or unmade monster has an official appearance in a complete product or publication by the company.
- Unlike other films for which he created artwork, Ohrai received a credit for "poster illustration" in the end credits to Sinking of Japan.
