Katsuhiro Otomo and Manabe's manga are what influenced a lot of japans 80s and 90s texhno-organic fad, and both artists were more influenced by Moebius than Gieger.

Both mobius and Geiger did design work for the first alien film, but it was Mobius comics that had the most influence on japanese artists. Obviously the alien itself was a pop culture icon that the japanese ripped off routinely as well.
