Some of his most recognizable work includes the artwork and character designs provided for HEROMAN, Moribito - Guardian of the Spirit, and Guild01: Liberation Maiden. Koyama's mech designs are featured in well-known anime including Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex – Solid State Society, Eureka Seven, and Star Driver.
Koyama has provided artwork and character designs for GAINAX-produced series Diebuster (Gunbuster 2), Gurren Lagann, and Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. His most recent work has him working as a key animator on the Rebuild of Evangelion Tetralogy. Fans of Eureka Seven can see his latest work as a member of the design development team for Eureka Seven:AO which has recently begun airing in Japan. Outside of anime, Koyama has also worked on video games; his design work is featured in the No More Heroes franchise.
