[7] Jiraiya specializes in pin-up art of hypermasculine men with large, muscular builds, and was one of the first gay manga artists to use digital illustration extensively in his work.

[2] He is noted for his hyperreal drawing style, the result of a process in which he creates a freehand sketch from a photographic reference of body parts from different men collaged into a single figure, which he then augments with Photoshop, Illustrator, and QuarkXPress.

[7] His narrative works are typically comic and light-hearted in tone, contrasting the sadomasochistic material of his peers, and deal with themes of group sex, romance, and athletic competition.

[7] Jiraiya has published three major collections of manga: Room for Five Guys (五人部屋, Gonin Beya), Song of Gratitude (仰ゲバ尊シ, Aogeba Toutoshi), and Three Crows [ja] (田亀 源五郎, Sanba no Karasu).

In June 2014, Opening Ceremony launched a line of products featuring Jiraiya's artwork for Pride Month, including apparel, accessories, and a Tenga sex toy.

[16][17] Pretty Snake, a fashion brand founded by Project Runway contestant Joe Segal, launched a line of swim briefs with artwork by Jiraiya in 2015.
