Artistry
Iyowa's songs are known for using a lot of dissonance and are often described as emotionally charged. The abrupt jumps in scale and the abundance of dissonances led to his early career to be described as "that sounds like it was written at random, but it is a song and it is mutant". In 2022, he described his musical style as "Strong characteristic and strange music".

Vocaloid music videos are generally commissioned from a different person than the composer, but Iyowa produces all of his own music videos and his songs. He attributed this to the reason: "I was afraid to have a music video produced by someone I had never met before." The girls in his music video are called "Iyowa girls", and he said they are very happy to see their fan art.

Iyowa has cited Harumaki Gohan, Nuyuri, and Enon Kawatani of Gesu no Kiwami Otome as influences to his musical talents.
