Many of the crew were avid fans of Japanese animation, and often put in references to their favorite shows. This includes the "Exocomps" in Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Quality of Life (1992), were modeled after the robot Namno from Dirty Pair OVA (1987), while other episodes often referenced characters from Lamù la ragazza dello spazio (1981). The "Akira-class" starships are also meant as a double reference to Akira (1988) and director Akira Kurosawa. The alien race of the Nausicaans is said to have been named after the title character from Nausicaä della valle del vento (1984). Contrary to popular expectation, however, according to Rick Sternbach, the U.S.S. Yamato in season two is named directly after the World War II Japanese battleship Yamato, and not truly an intentional homage to I guerrieri delle stelle (1974), which is also known as Star Blazers (1979). Sternbach, an anime fan, noted that he had no input in the naming of the ship, and he further speculates that the scriptwriters were unaware of the anime connection.
