Kenmotsu's formula describes surfaces in Euclidean 3-space by their mean curvature functions and Gauss maps. In Lorentzian 3-space, Akutagawa-Nishikawa's formula and Magid's formula are Kenmotsu-type formulas for spacelike surfaces and for timelike surfaces, respectively. We apply them to a few problems concerning rotational or helicoidal surfaces with constant mean curvature. Before that, we show that the three formulas above can be written in a unified single equation.
